Out of curiosity which dealership was it? You're not too far from me, and if there's a dealer who's willing to look up my VIN in the area I'd like to know.

I just got the letter yesterday, but I already got an appointment for some warranty work at the dealer for today. so they did the recall on my car at the same time.

I wasn't able to assist while they did the job on my car, but when i went back to pick up the car, i saw another mechanics doing the recall on another yaris... and this is what they actually removed.

I took mine in for the recall and now my car smells like paint thinner... just a heads up

Innerestin'... Mine didn't - they just removed foam.

IllusionX · 02-18-2009, 02:31 PM

your car smell bad maybe because the day they were working in your car, some other mech were using paint thinner on other car.

but guys.. i was watching them doing this one, and it does take some massive digging to take it out. they do not remove the seat-belt to remove the cover...

My faith in toyota is tarnished now, who ever put that foam there should be shot!!!

Shroomster · 02-19-2009, 01:38 AM

it's a chemical reaction of the foam not the foams fault or toyota's just poor fabrication technique.....of whoever sold the foam to toyota.....

TheRealEnth · 02-19-2009, 01:41 AM

How long does it take? I dont wanna sit around the dealership for an hour =( (thats how mcuh it said on the paper... does it really take an hour?)

Shroomster · 02-19-2009, 11:03 AM

that is the flat rate time.

that is what the tech will get paid.

may take them 10-15 minutes... if they do a lot of them...

Is there a TSB out related to this issue? It would be nice to add it here.

IllusionX · 02-19-2009, 02:24 PM

It was the Darcars in Frederick, MD. They sent out an email after i had them look up my VIN number, and they did it two days later, they also found a leak in my water pump, which they are replacing under the warranty.

*MAD DOG* · 02-23-2009, 06:14 AM

Maybe i'll get them to look at the water pump next service.

Such a nice response - All cars have foam - What do you sit on - A milk carton....

Shot? Holy smokes...

I've driven a lot of automobiles in my years - Dollar for Dollar - It's good deal - I have 2 Toyota's and will probably never by anything else... Except for a Pickup! Because Toyota don't have diesel pickups in Canada! and at my age - I need to think about pulling a fifth wheel - My Toy Hauler!
