Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2015 Yaris vehicles manufactured between January 13, 2015, and February 27, 2015. The recall addresses a defect where the front strut mounting bearings can be damaged when a high load is applied to the strut, such as when driving over a large bump.
A damaged strut mounting bearing may cause the strut rod to separate, which can result in a loss of vehicle stability and increase the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the strut mounting bearings and, as necessary, replace the strut and front suspension support sub-assembly free of charge.
