Toyota will be contacting the owners of certain 2015 Toyota Yaris vehicles about a problem affecting the front end suspension system. These vehicles were manufactured with a strut mounting bearing component that could be damaged when subject to high loads. If this occurs, the driver may experience abnormal noises when driving on uneven roads or when turning the steering. If the vehicle continues to be operated, the upper side of the strut rod could separate, causing a loss of vehicle stability.
Those receiving notices will be asked to return to their dealers to have the strut mounting bearings replaced. The strut and front suspension support sub assembly will be inspected and replaced as necessary. Owners wanting more information about the problem are asked to contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota’s number for this recall is G0S and the NHTSA campaign number is 16V-367.
