Repeated recall with Toyota Yaris, one new with the Camry (week 1/20)

07/01/2020

This week’s recalls:
– Toyota Yaris – airbag
– Toyota Camry – seatbelt

In the first week of 2020, we saw only two of Toyota’s recalls.

With the Model year 2003 – 2005 Toyota Yaris, the vehicles might have been fitted with an inappropriate replacement airbag inflator. In the event of an accident, the airbag might not properly deploy, increasing the risk of injuries. A look at the Rapex archive shows that in September 2019 Toyota also recalled Yaris produced between 2001 – 2011 due to the airbags, while a similar recall in May 2019 related to Yaris from the production period 2010 to 2018.

The Model year 2019 Toyota Camry could have an incorrectly mounted spring in the webbing sensor locking mechanism in the rear dual mode-locking seatbelt assemblies. The spring might impair the locking of the seatbelt.

The Toyota Camry was also recalled in August 2019 along with other Toyota and Lexus models due to a possible failure of the brake booster pump motor. The braking assistance could be lost completely after several attempts to apply the brake pedal. This fault may occur with vehicles manufactured between late April to early June 2019.

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 an 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.
