What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that increases the risk of occupant injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2012-2015 Yaris vehicles manufactured between August 31, 2011, and February 9, 2015. These vehicles were sold or registered in Puerto Rico. The recall involves approximately 16,582 vehicles.
The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with a roof headliner that does not provide the proper occupant protection in the event of a crash. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." If the headliner does not meet impact requirements, there is an increased risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the headliner free of charge. The recall began on June 22, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
