This 2012 Toyota Corolla factory service and repair manual is tied to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you, so the clearances and tightening sequences it quotes for the 1.8L four (2ZR-FE) are the ones Toyota published for the 2012 car rather than a figure inherited from a neighboring Corolla that happens to share the name.

Known issues on the 2012 Corolla. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and every one of them lands in the restraint system. Two cover the frontal passenger-side air bag inflator module: in the first, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, and in the second, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. A third covers the air bag/restraint control module, and concerns air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended in the event of a crash. The fourth, recalled through Southeast Toyota Distributors rather than by Toyota directly, covers the frontal air bag sensor and control module, and applies if the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration. Owners have filed 496 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 176 technical service bulletins.
Whether the job is an air bag warning light that traces back to the occupant sensing system or a routine service interval on the 1.8L four, the procedure and the figure you work to are Toyota's own for this 2012 Corolla.
