Toyota wrote this factory service and repair manual around the 2007 Matrix exactly as it was built — the 1.8L four-cylinder (1ZZ-FE) and the trim the car left the line in — so any specification or tightening sequence you pull from it is the figure that applies to this vehicle, not an approximation lifted from another year of the car.

Known issues on the 2007 Matrix. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is filed under engine and engine cooling: Toyota recalled certain 2005-2008 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles over the engine control module fitted to models with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive, and the record states that a variety of warnings and consequences are associated with the defect. The second is filed under equipment labels: Gulf States Toyota recalled certain 2005-2010 vehicles for failing to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" — the label does not meet the standard requirements. Owners have filed 109 complaints against the 2007 Matrix, and Toyota has issued 77 technical service bulletins for it.
Whether you are chasing an engine-management fault, confirming the tire and rim information the label should carry, or working through a scheduled service, it holds you to Toyota’s own procedure and the correct figure for this 2007 Matrix.
