8815 Toyota Yaris cars have been recalled due to a fault in the suspension that can cause it to coorode and detach.
Due to a durability issue, the front lower suspension arm may develop cracks and corrode when exposed to road snow melting agents. This could cause the suspension to collapse and detach from the vehicle.
As a result, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of steering control which could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Toyota in writing, and are asked to make an appointment to have the front lower suspension arm replaced, free of charge.
The affected vehicles are the 2020-2023 models of the Yaris Ascent Sport 1.5L Petrol, Yaris Hybrid Ascent Sport 1.5L, Yaris Hybrid SX 1.5L, Yaris Hybrid ZR 1.5L, Yaris SX 1.5L Petrol and Yaris ZR 1.5L Petrol.
