it sounds like the color/clearcoat portion of the paint has delaminated and the white flakes may be pieces of primer. there may actually be a warranty/bulletin advising dealers that factory will pay for paint repairs - this has been the case for other vehicles/manufacturers but i don't know about Yaris in particular.
probably there is no help from the manufacturer. so look for exposed metal anywhere. if you find it scrape/clean the area to make it shiny and eliminate loose rust - then paint it with the closest color of RUSTOLEUM that you can find. i do this for most of my cars, usually on small spots at the front of the hood, but it works anywhere.5
