Wonder if we'll get one . There's creaking / crunching that's more frequent .

You might since you're in the Northeast. Most people who get this notice won't have a clue what the bolt is about anyway...

I pulled mine out in summer after it had been dry for a few weeks and about 250ml of water came out of the left hole. I can see why they rust out.....

I just picked up 12/18's mail and mine came as well. I wonder if they only sent the notice to owners who purchased their cars in cold weather areas, or if they sent them to everyone. I purchased my car in Rhode Island, but the factory delivered my car to another dealership owned by the same corporation in Litchfield, CT (about 30 miles from Sandy Hook). The letter makes me feel a bit unsettled....essentially if you aren't experiencing an abnormal noise, put the letter away in your owner's manual....really?....sounds like waiting until something is half broken before addressing it. Am I being paranoid? As anyone can see from my detail area, I'm way over the mileage limit.

I wonder if I'll get one of those letters... If so, sure hope it arrives soon... I'm already over 94k and average 500-600 miles a week... There's definitely creaking going on...

It's cheaper for TOYOTA to do a T.S.B. than a recall . It's up to the TOYOTA service centers to determine if needed under a T.S.B. . While a recall would make it a must . I wonder if the techs even know what to look for ? We've had the creaking for 2 years or more . Took it to the shop where the '08 sedan was bought new and they said it was fine . Said they couldn't duplicate the sound . Figures . Just think how much time it would take to fix all YARII from '06 > '11 . It's about a 8 hour repair . That would be lots of money from TOYOTAs pocket due to labor , parts , and sales that could tarnish their reputation more .

I haven't heard anything weird on my Yaris and we have salt on our roads about 7 months a year. I don't know if I will get a letter from Toyota, but nothing so far.

^ I've no issues with mine either.
Even if I did get a letter from Toyota, I'm so far beyond the coverage period they're extending it'll be useless to me.

I felt something weird when I was braking the other day, I went over a sewer drain and I swear I felt/heard something shift/rattle. I have a hunch this could be it.
