Seat belts: front: retractor
- What is wrong
- Toyota is recalling 134,895 my 2006-2007 yaris vehicles equipped with driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners, which are designed to be activated in response to a severe frontal impact. When the sensor detects a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back by the retractors so that the belts snugly restrain the occupants. The involved vehicles contain a center pillar sound insulator located underneath each front seat belt pretensioner.
- Risk
- In the event of seat belt pretensioner deployment, the gas generated may affect the sound insulators. In the worst case, if the sound insulators ignite, this condition will result in a post-collision fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will modify the vehicle free of charge. The modification will entail removal of the small urethane center pillar sound insulators (sponge) underneath the driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners. The recall began on january 28, 2009. Owners may contact toyota at 1‑888‑270‑9371.

Vehicle parked, seat belt will not retract, will stay out until I feed it back to the slot. I have a couple of years with this problem hoping that there was going to be a recall. Plese help, I don't feel safe. Sometimes the seat belt gets caught on the door since it will not retract.
The driver seat belt does not retract. When buckled up, this is really hard (and it takes at least 30 seconds) to unfasten the driver seat belt. I'm scared to be trapped inside in case of an accident. It happens all the time, no matter where I drive, if the car is in motion or not. I noticed the problem 1 year ago. When looking on internet, I see this is a really common problem.

Good afternoon I have a 2007 toyota yaris with around 108,000 miles. I made an appt with a local dealer to go thru 3 recalls in my car and additionally to check on my rear-driver seatbelt which is not retracting (it failed on 6-26-16) . I have read various forums stating that various owners of my model car have had the same issue. The dealer finished the 3 recalled issues. The issue with the rear seatbelt was related to a ball bearing in the system that was not allowing for the seatbelt to recoil. The dealer wanted around $350 to fix the issue. I think this is a safety issue the car is not new but an item that is needed for safety should not go bad within a fairly long timeline, it should at least outlast the car. I have read various forums with people complaining on this same problem. How can this not be a problem related to quality and safety of the equipment toyota sells? Additional note: the dealer refused to fix my car's airbag (takata recall) because they did not have the parts yet. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was sitting at a red light when my 2007 toyota yaris was rammed from behind in a rear end collision. I sustained several injuries. My air bag didn't deploy, but the air bag light came on. In addition, the seatbelts didn't work either. I suffered a comminuted fracture to my left distal clavicle, fractured l1 transverse process, and I'm having surgery to fix the problems that were caused from my face hitting the steering wheel. This happened on oct 20, 2015 and I just found out this is a common problem with 2007 toyota yaris'. I can provide addition information is needed.
