2011 Toyota Yaris

The 2011 Toyota Yaris has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture or explode and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

All four recalls address the same underlying defect in the Takata-supplied front passenger airbag inflator. The filings collectively cover vehicles registered across a wide range of U.S. states, territories, and climate zones, reflecting a phased geographic expansion of the recall over several years as the scope of the problem became clearer. The core danger is the same in every case: the inflator can fail violently when the airbag deploys, breaking apart and scattering metal fragments toward the driver and passengers rather than providing protection. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why multiple rounds of recalls were issued for overlapping model years and regions. Any 2011 Yaris with an unrepaired inflator carries this risk regardless of where it currently operates.
