Component
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
What Happened
The seat belt retractor in your Yaris is a mechanism that tightens the seat belt during a severe frontal impact. It's located under your front seat and has a small sound insulator nearby.
Risk if Unfixed
If this system fails, the sound insulator could catch fire after a crash, causing a post-crash fire. This could lead to serious injury or further damage.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will replace the small sound insulators under your seat belt retractors, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
