What Happened
The wire harness in your 2015-2017 Yaris is a crucial part that helps your side air bags work properly. Over time, the wires might crack and corrode, which could prevent or mess up the deployment of these life-saving air bags.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bags don't deploy correctly in a crash, you're at a higher risk of serious injury. This could happen because the front seat side air bags and curtain shield air bags might not work as intended.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will replace the faulty wire harness in your front doors with a new one at no charge. It's essential to schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice to ensure your safety on the road.
