Toyota Yaris Recalled for Seat Belt Fault
Toyota has announced a safety recall for approximately 134,900 Toyota Yaris sedans and hatchbacks sold for model years 2006 to 2007. The manufacturer determined that the seat belt pretensioner deployment may affect the sound insulating foam in the center pillar following a collision. That description doesn't make the fault seem very severe and there are no reported cases of this condition in the United States. Toyota estimates it will take approximately one hour for the dealer to repair (depending on workload, of course).
