2011 Toyota Yaris Recalls & Complaints

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

These four recalls cover the same underlying defect across different geographic groups of registered vehicles, meaning the geographic scope expanded over time as prior repair efforts did not fully resolve the issue. The fix applies regardless of which campaign covers a specific vehicle, but owners should confirm their VIN has been repaired, as the inflator risk is the same in every case.
