How to Interpret This Page
This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality. To compare this model year with others, use the year navigation in the sidebar or return to the model overview page.

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.

Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are G0R (Zone B), and H0A (Zone C), J0A (Matrix Zone A), J0A (Matrix Zone A), J0A (Matrix Zone A).

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH AND HAD TO BRAKE FOR SLOWER TRAFFIC AHEAD. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGED, BRAKING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR, THEN THE RIGHT ALMOST SENDING ME OFF THE ROAD. AFTER THIS HAD HAPPENED, THE SPEEDOMETER HAD STARTED JUMPING TO DIFFERENT SPEEDS VERY RAPIDLY AND I WAS UNABLE TO TELL MY CORRECT SPEED. THE ANTILOCK BRAKES HAVE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE RANDOMLY WHEN THEY ARE NOT NEEDED, CAUSE LOSS OF BRAKING CONTROL AND THE OVERALL ABILITY TO COME TO A STOP. THE SPEEDOMETER ALSO JUMPS AROUND EVERY NOW AND THEN. THE ABS LIGHT WAS ONLY TRIGGERED ONCE, AND THEN TURNED OFF.

ON 7/9/2017 @ 6:45PM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 90 THE REAR BUMPER PANEL ON MY 2012 TOYOTA YARIS CAME UNHINGED AND WAS FLAPPING CAUSING THE RIGHT SIDE TO ALSO DETACH. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD THE BUMPER ARE NOT HOLDING! MY CAR IS IN GRATE/EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT APPEARS TO BE A POORLY ASSEMBLED AND/OR DESIGNE DEFECT MADE BY THE MANUFACTURE SINCE I WAS DRIVE THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. I AM ON VACATION HEADED TO SOUTH DAKOTA FROM CALIFORNIA AND THIS PUTS MYSELF, PASSENGER, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE HIGHWAY IN DANGER IF IT COMPLETELY DETACHES!

MY PASSENGER SIDE SEAT MANUAL TRACK HAS BROKEN. I CANNOT ADJUST IT FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. THERE IS A SPRING THAT FELL OFF UNDERNEATH. I PUT IT BACK CORRECTLY JUST AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO GO, BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE ENTIRE LATCHING MECHANISM HAS FAILED. MY 2007 YARIS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THE DRIVER SEAT. THE CHASSIS FOR ALL MODEL YEAR YARIS' ARE THE SAME. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MECHANISMS WE'RE CONTINUED TO BE BUILT WITH A KNOWN ISSUE. MY CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES AND THIS SEAT IS BARELY USED.
