The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles manufactured between August 22, 2005, and May 12, 2010, and 2008-2010 Scion xD vehicles manufactured between April 4, 2007, and May 12, 2010. The recall involves approximately 472,388 vehicles.
The defect involves the springs used for the seat rails on the driver's seat and the front passenger seat of three-door models. These springs may break, which could prevent the seat from locking in position. If the seat moves during a vehicle crash, the risk of injury to the occupant increases.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat rails and replace them with new ones if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
