Reason for the recall:

In vehicles equipped with projector headlights, the movable part for headlights’ dimming could be deformed due to an incorrect dimming process.

This may lead to an inability to switch from main-beam to dipped-beam or from dipped-beam to main-beam, increasing the risk of an accident.

The Toyota Yaris models affected by this recall were manufactured between 2. 6. 2020 – 19. 6. 2020.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Toyota dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
