What Happened
The springs in your Yaris or Scion xD's seat rails help keep your front seats secure. In some 2006-2010 models, these springs can break, causing the seat to move freely.
Risk if Unfixed
If the spring breaks, your seat might not stay in place. In a crash, this could let the seat move and increase the risk of injury to you or your passenger.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will inspect the seat rail and replace it with a new one if needed – all for free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you get the recall notice.
