Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 model year shows a sharp increase in federal complaints relative to the prior year, rising from 5 complaints in 2006 to 296 complaints in 2007, while recalls also increased from 5 to 10 and investigations appeared for the first time (3). Complaint volume remained elevated in 2008 at 218 before beginning a steady decline, dropping to 103 in 2009 and continuing to fall through subsequent years. Recalls stayed at 10 for 2007‑2009, then gradually decreased, and investigations fell from 3 in 2007‑2008 to 2 in 2009 and lower thereafter. Thus, 2007 sits at the peak of the complaint arc for this generation, indicating a period of comparatively higher reported issues. Given the markedly higher complaint count and associated recall activity, a 2007 Toyota Yaris presents a less favorable risk profile compared to surrounding years, suggesting caution or a thorough pre‑purchase inspection if considering this model year.
