What's wrong?
On the 2015-2017 Toyota Yaris, the front door wire harness is the bundle of wires that carries signals from the side air bag sensors in the front doors to the air bag control system. Those sensors help the vehicle recognize a side impact and command the front seat side air bags and curtain shield air bags to deploy when the system calls for them.
On affected Yaris vehicles, the insulation on wires in the front door harness can crack. Once the insulation is damaged, corrosion can form and the sensor wire circuit can open. That broken circuit prevents the air bag control system from receiving the side impact sensor signal correctly, leading to non-deployment or improper deployment of the side air bags and curtain shield air bags.
Toyota identifies the SRS warning light as the warning sign. If that light comes on, the air bag system has detected a fault and the vehicle needs dealer attention.
Who's affected?
Two component groups are listed for each model year: side air bag and wiring.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific car is included.
What's the safety risk?
In a crash, front seat side air bags and curtain shield air bags that fail to deploy as intended increase injury risk. The SRS warning light is the warning sign Toyota lists for this issue. If it appears, schedule service promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician checks the production record and replaces the front door wire harness assembly in one or both front doors as needed. The improved harness, parts, and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid to fix this condition before the campaign, Toyota's General Reimbursement Plan covers documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork to the Toyota service desk and ask how to submit the claim.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V319?
Recall 19V319 covers 43,221 2015-2017 Toyota Yaris vehicles with front-door side air bag sensor wire harnesses that can crack and corrode. In a crash, the front seat side air bags and curtain shield air bags can fail to deploy correctly, increasing injury risk. Toyota dealers replace the front-door wire harness assembly for free.
What should I do if my 2015-2017 Toyota Yaris is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Yaris is included in recall 19V319. If it is included, contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the front-door wire harness inspection and replacement. Reference recall number 19V319 or Toyota recall K1F/K0F when you call.
Is the recall repair free?

What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is improper side air bag protection in a crash. A cracked or corroded front-door sensor wire harness can prevent the front seat side air bags and curtain shield air bags from deploying as intended. Toyota's free dealer repair addresses the wire harness problem.
