Known issues on the 2012 Yaris. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year, and two of them 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. In the second, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants. The third covers the electric power assist steering system on 2012 Yaris vehicles manufactured August 21, 2011 through August 31, 2011, and concerns a relay in the Power Steering Control Module: if the power steering assistance shuts off, the driver may have difficulty steering the vehicle. Owners have submitted 47 complaints for the 2012 Yaris, and Toyota has issued 95 technical service bulletins against it.
Whether the job is a steering assist fault, an air bag inflator recall or a routine service on the 1.5L four-cylinder, the numbers you work to are the ones Toyota set for this car.
