Toyota To Recall 2006-'07 Yaris

Toyota Motor Sales USA is recalling 134,900 Yaris vehicles from the 2006 and 2007 model years to fix a problem with the front seatbelts.

'Toyota has determined that the seatbelt pre-tensioner deployment may affect the sound-insulating foam in the center pillar following a collision,' said the automaker in a statement on Wednesday.

'There are no reported cases of this condition in the United States, and no other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved,' said Toyota in a statement.

The U.S. recall is part of a larger global recall of more than 1.35 million Toyota Vitz, Belta and Ractis cars built from January 2005 to April 2008, according to Reuters. That recall involves a defect in the seatbelt, a component in the exhaust system or both. One case of fire was reported in Japan due to the faulty seatbelt design, which could cause a noise-absorber device to melt when the seatbelt tensioner is activated in a collision.
