Forgot to say: The car manufacturers use the DVLA database to inform people of recalls so the recall letter will go to the registered owner of the car.

My Toyota Yaris was bought second-hand. I have been notified and called in for all relevant recalls.

tiggy I received a letter in October telling me that mine will be recalled re the airbag. A year seems a long time though!

Google Toyota recalls and put in her number plate. It will then say if it should be on the recall list.

DD has a '54 plate second hand one, do I need to forward this to her ?

Mine is 12 years old and I have been advised and called in for two recalls. One or two only applied to cars newer than mine.

I have not had any problems with recalls. I usually get asked to bring my car into the garageabout 3 or 4 months after I have been notified of the recall. It is nearly a year since my airbag recall was dealt with.

I think your dealer is putting you off. Look up the address of Toyota's HQ in the UK and write and complain.

I've got an old one, and it's never been recalled and works like a dream- a proper little trooper.

I have just received a letter re-calling my Yaris for the FOURTH time. The first 2 times were dealt with quite quickly but the third one (front passenger airbag inflator) I have been waiting almost a year for and my local dealer say they are still waiting for the parts. Goodness knows how long the fourth one (driver's window switch) will take.

Have any of you other Yaris owners had the same problem and have they been fixed yet ?

I have complained to Toyota and suggested that after 4 recalls that they must owe me a new vehicle. Somehow I don't think they will !!
