4/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2016 Toyota Yaris has 3 recalls, the most serious involving wire harnesses in the front doors that can crack and corrode, causing side airbags and curtain airbags to fail or deploy incorrectly in a crash.
The remaining two recalls are label-related. One affects certain vehicles with a compliance label that was misprinted with an incorrect manufacturing date. The other applies to vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota and concerns a load-carrying capacity label that may not account for the weight of dealer-installed accessories, which could lead to the vehicle being overloaded without the owner realizing it.
