| Defect Summary | Toyota is recalling 134,895 my 2006-2007 yaris vehicles equipped with driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners, which are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. when the sensor detects a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the occupants. the involved vehicles contain a center pillar sound insulator located underneath each front seat belt pretensioner. | |||||||||||||||
