What's wrong?
The front strut mounting bearing on the 2015 Toyota Yaris sits at the top of the front strut assembly, where the suspension connects to the body. The strut supports the front corner of the car, absorbs road impacts, and helps the wheel turn smoothly when you steer.
On affected Yaris vehicles, the mounting bearing can be damaged when the strut takes a high load. A hard impact from a large bump puts extra force through the front suspension, and that force can damage the bearing instead of letting it rotate and support the strut as intended. Once damaged, the bearing no longer moves cleanly as the suspension and steering work.
The warning sign is noise. Drivers can hear an abnormal sound while driving on uneven roads or when turning the steering wheel, which is the sound to report when calling a Toyota dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician replaces the strut mounting bearings. If inspection shows more front suspension damage from the same condition, the technician also replaces the strut and front suspension support sub-assembly. The recall repair is free at a Toyota dealer, including parts and labor. If you already paid out of pocket for this repair before recall service, ask Toyota customer service or the dealer service desk about Toyota's general reimbursement plan and bring repair documentation.
