What's wrong?
The roof headliner in the 2012-2015 Toyota Yaris is the finished panel above the passenger compartment. It covers the metal roof structure and is part of the interior system that helps protect occupants when a person's head strikes the inside of the vehicle during a crash. That protection is measured under FMVSS 201, the federal rule for occupant protection in interior impact.
On the affected Yaris vehicles, Toyota found that the wrong roof headliner had been specified and used in production for vehicles built for first sale in Puerto Rico. The issue is not a loose trim piece or a cosmetic defect. Testing showed that some of these vehicles do not meet the required interior-impact protection standard, which means the headliner does not provide the required level of protection in a crash.
There is no warning sign before failure. The headliner can look normal, and the problem only matters during a crash impact inside the cabin.
Who's affected?
The same body or structural component is listed across all 4 model years in the scope.
| 2012 Toyota Yaris | body or structural component |
|---|---|
| 2013 Toyota Yaris | body or structural component |
| 2014 Toyota Yaris | body or structural component |
| 2015 Toyota Yaris | body or structural component |
| Units affected | 16,582 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific hatchback is included.
What's the safety risk?
A headliner that fails impact requirements gives occupants less protection in a crash and increases the risk of injury. Drive cautiously until the headliner is replaced, and schedule the recall repair through a Toyota dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.
