    On May 25th, 2016, Toyota will file a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on 2015 model year Yaris vehicles.

    Condition:
    In the subject vehicles, there is a possibility that a front upper shock assembly bearing could become damaged. If this occurs, the driver may experience abnormal noises while driving on rough road surfaces or when turning the steering wheel. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, a front shock absorber piston rod could separate, causing a loss of vehicle stability and increasing the risk of a crash.

    Toyota is currently preparing the remedy parts for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. We will notify dealerships again prior to the start of the remedy owner notification.

    The remedy, when available, will involve the replacement of the shock absorber bearings and retaining nuts on all involved vehicles at No Charge to the vehicle owner. In rare instances, based on inspection, a front shock absorber assembly and front suspension support may also be replaced at No Charge.

    Covered Vehicles:
    There are approximately 3,100 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall
