Toyota and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced today a major Safety Recall involving 134,900 Yaris units. The Toyota Yaris recall refers to vehicle sold in the United States and built from 2006 through 2007.
The Toyota Yaris is equipped with driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners that retract the seat belts in case of a crash. The reason for this Toyota Yaris recall is that the pretensioner deployment may affect the sound insulating foam in the center pillar, following a collision.
Toyota will inform owners of the involved vehicles with a Safety Recall notification via first-class mail beginning in early February.
Owners are requested to contact their local Toyota dealer for repair. The repair will take approximately one hour, depending on the dealer's workload.
