2011 Toyota Yaris

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2010-2016 4Runner, 2003-2006 Tundra, 2003-2013 Corolla, 2009-2010 Corolla Matrix, 2004-2005 RAV4, 2002-2007 Sequoia, 2011-2013 Sienna, 2008-2012 Scion xB, 2008-2009 Lexus IS-F, 2007-2012 Yaris and Lexus ES350, 2010-2017 Lexus GX460, 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 and 2010-2015 Lexus IS250C and IS350C vehicles. These vehicles had their driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners. Depending on the vehicle model, dealers will replace the front driver inflator, front passenger airbag inflator, the airbag assembly, or the front passenger airbag sub-assembly and inflator. The recall began November 20, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987. Toyota's numbers for this recall are J0A, J0B, and J0C. Lexus' numbers for this recall are JLI, JLJ, and JLK.

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2018.

Vehicles of these model years and models that were not originally sold or ever registered in either Zones A or B are not subject to this safety recall. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Toyota will notify the Toyota and Lexus owners. General Motors will contact the Pontiac owners. Depending on the model, dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator or the air bag assembly, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2016.

The car malfunction issue that is being reported is for the 2011 Toyota Yaris Gearshift and yes it is available upon request. The safety of small children were at risk when the vehicle was turned off no key in the ignition and no pressure on the break but the gear was pulled it shifted into neutral and completed an accelerated roll away with a small child inside. Not as of yet, has this vehicle been inspected by an independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by other individuals and insurance reps. NO WARNING LIGHTS VISIBLE because keys were never in vehicle or in vehicle ignition.

I FILED A CLAIM FOR THE AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT IN 2017. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE AND WHEN I CONTACTED TOYOTA THEY STATED BOB BAKER DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. NO ONE HAS AN ANSWER. THANK YOU, AMPARO PEREZ-FLYNN

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL: UPON RECEIVING THE RECALL LETTER FROM TOYOTA APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED ONE OF THE 2 LOCAL DEALERS (PRECISION TOYOTA) AND ARRANGED TO HAVE THE PARTS ORDERED. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 7 TO 10 DAYS I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE PARTS HAD ARRIVED AND I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR BUT THE DEALER IS UNWILLING TO GIVE ME A RIDE HOME SO I CAN USE A BORROWED VEHICLE TO GO TO WORK. YESTERDAY I WAS ADVISED BY A REP FROM PRECISION TOYOTA THAT THEY AGAIN WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE ME A RIDE HOME ON THEIR SHUTTLE BUT WOULD ARRANGE FOR AN UBER TO RETURN ME HOME. UPON ARRIVAL THIS MORNING AT PRECISION TOYOTA I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY IN FACT WOULD NOT ARRANGE FOR A RIDE TO MY HOME BECAUSE OF WHERE I LIVE (APPROXIMATELY 19 MILES FROM THE DEALER). I WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE A DAY OFF FROM WORK ESPECIALLY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY FAULT!!! TOYOTA IS FAILING AT THIS RECALL!

"TAKATA RECALL" THIS RECALL HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE MAY 23, 2016 YET WE ONLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AT THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY 2017,AND NO FIX IS AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATORS ON OUR VEHICLE. (MAKING THIS VEHICLE DANGEROUS FAR WORSE THEN ANY VEHICLE WITHOUT A AIR BAG SYSTEM). WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR ITS SAFETY , BUT IT IS NOT SAFE. AND TOYOTA HAS NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE.. AT THIS TIME I FEEL CONSIDERING THIS HAS BEEN KNOW FOR A LONG TIME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE, THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD EITHER CORRECT THE FAULTY INFLATORS, PROVIDE SAFE REPLACEMENT VEHICLES, OR OUT RIGHT PURCHASE THE VEHICLES BACK FROM THE OWNERS FOR THE OWNERS ACTUAL PURCHASE COST. AS OF JANUARY 20TH 2017 NO NOTICE TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

TAKATA RECALL I WISH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT TAKATA AND TOYOTA ABOUT THEIR MUTUAL HANDLING OF THE RECALL. THIS SUMMER I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA RECOMMENDING KEEPING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNOCCUPIED DUE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHILE THEY SEEK A "REMEDY". FROM WHAT READING I HAVE DONE, THE REMEDY CONSISTS OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY FROM TAKATA WITH A NEWER VERSION OF THE SAME DEFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY, THUS PROLONGING THE DANGER. THIS IS JUST A PLOY TO BUY TIME AND IT IS CRIMINAL. AS THE AIRBAG RECALL EXPANDS TO OTHER MAKES AND MODELS, WILL OTHER AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE BE AFFECTED AS WELL? SO NOW I AND MANY THOUSANDS/ MILLIONS OF OTHER DRIVERS MUST DRIVE VEHICLES THAT COULD EXPLODE ON US AT ANY GIVEN TIME AND THAT WILL BE DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO SELL. WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED AND TOYOTA AND TAKATA MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
