Manufacturer

What Happened
The front shock absorber on your Yaris is a critical component that helps your vehicle absorb bumps and maintain stability. In some 2015 models, the part that holds it in place can be damaged by heavy loads, like hitting a big pothole.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the strut could break, causing your vehicle to lose stability and making it harder to control, which increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will replace the strut mounting bearings and, if needed, the strut and front suspension support, all at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
