Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Tundra, Sequoia, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Yaris, Scion xB, Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge. Toyota owners that experience a problem with a switch should not attempt to make repairs, but should contact their Toyota dealer or the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. General Motors will contact the Pontiac Vibe owners affected by this recall and GM dealers will inspect and repair switches as necessary. Those owners may contact Pontiac Customer Care at 1-800-762-2737.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REINFORCEMENT BAR IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHICH WILL ALLOW THE PEDAL TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY. GM WILL NOTIFY OWNERS FOR THE PONTIAC VIBE PLEASE SEE 10V-018. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 5, 2010 AND WILL BE COMPLETED ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2010 PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAN GET STUCK IN THE WIDE OPEN POSITION DUE TO ITS BEING TRAPPED BY AN UNSECURED OR INCOMPATIBLE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT.
A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES. ADDITIONALLY, SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS WILL BE INSTALLED ON CAMRY, AVALON AND LEXUS ES 350, IS 350 AND IS 250 MODELS THAT WILL ENSURE THAT THE BRAKE OVERRIDES THE ACCELERATOR IN THE EVENT BOTH BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS ARE APPLIED. TOYOTA WILL BEGIN MAILING LETTERS TO OWNERS ON DECEMBER 31, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331, LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

CERTAIN ALL WEATHER FLOOR MATS (AWFM) SPECIFICALLY SOLD AS AN OPTIONAL ACCESSORY FOR USE ON THE 2007 AND 2008 MODEL YEAR LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES. THE AWFM INCLUDES TWO GROMMET HOLES AND RETAINING HOOKS (CLIPS) TO SECURE THE MAT TO THE VEHICLE'S CARPET. IF THE AWFM IS NOT SECURED BY ITSELF OR IF IT IS PLACED ON TOP OF AN EXISTING CARPETING FLOOR MAT, THE MAT COULD MOVE FORWARD DURING THE VEHICLE USAGE AND IT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION WHEN RETURNING TO THE IDLE POSITION. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, IT MAY INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH.
TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS OF ALL 2007 AND 2008 LEXUS ES350 AND TOYOTA CAMRY VEHICLES ABOUT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH NOT ALL OF THESE OWNERS WILL HAVE PURCHASED THE ALL WEATHER MATS. IF THE OWNER HAD NOT PURCHASED THE MATS, THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL.

Air bagsApr 3, 2006
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THIS CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED DURING A CRASH.
THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT IN THE INVOLVED SEATING POSITION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPECIFIC SRS AIR BAG. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371, SCION AT 1-866-548-1851, OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

I PURCHASED THE CAMRY BACK IN 2010. CAR WAS GREAT, LOOKED GREAT. DASH LOOKED GOOD, OR AT LEAST I THOUGHT THE DEALERS DETAILER MADE IT LOOK GOOD. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS, NOTICED THE DASH WAS INCREDIBLY STICKY. TOOK IT TO BACK TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE DASHBOARD, AND IT WAS OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER TOO AND THEY SAID TOYOTA WOULD NOT COVER EITHER. THE DASH IS INCREDIBLY STICKY, LIKE THE GLUE THAT TOYOTA USED TO GLUE THE TOP MATERIAL DOWN ON THE DASH IS SEEPING THROUGH THE TOP LAYER. THE GLUE CREATES AN INCREDIBLE GLARE WHEN DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS DURING SUNNY DAYS AS IT MAKES THINGS HARD TO SEE UNLESS YOU'RE WEARING A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES, AND EVEN SO THE GLARE IS STILL THERE. THE GLUE ALSO MAKES THINGS STICK TO THE DASH, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY HARD TO CLEAN AS WELL, WHICH CAN ALSO SHOW UP ON THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE NEVER USED ANY GREASY, OR OILY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN MY DASH AS I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MAKING THE GLUE/GLARE PROBLEM EVEN WORSE. I'M TEMPTED TO EITHER BUY A DASH COVER, WHICH IRONICALLY WILL STICK TO THE DASHBOARD, OR TINT MY WINDSHIELD TO KEEP THE GLARE DOWN. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TOYOTA CHEAPED OUT ON THE MATERIAL USED IN THE DASH, THAT'S GOING TO HURT RESALE VALUE FOR ALL CAMRYS WITH THE ISSUE DOWN THE ROAD, AND CAN CREATE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IF THE GLARE IS BAD ENOUGH FOR SOME PEOPLE. I MODERATE A TOYOTA FORUM AND I SEE THIS EXACT ISSUE POP UP A LOT. I'VE INCLUDED A FEW LINKS FOR REFERENCE.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY IN NOVEMBER 2006 FROM A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND KEEP IT PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHEN IT'S NOT BEING USED. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THE HEAT OF THE SUN BEGAN MELTING MY DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD STARTED TO LOOK VERY GLOSSY AND SHINY AND FEEL VERY STICKY, LIKE GLUE. PARTS OF IT BEGAN TO PEEL. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A HOT SUNNY DAY, THE SHINE OF THE DASHBOARD CREATES A GLARE ON MY WINDSHIELD THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AHEAD. I TOOK IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HOPING THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT AS IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, BUT THEY SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY AROUND $3,000 TO REPLACE THE DASH. THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA CAMRY MODELS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN 2007 AND 2010, YET THEY NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT'S CLEAR FROM THIS THAT IT WAS PERFECTLY FEASIBLE FOR THEM TO USE A DIFFERENT MATERIAL MADE TO WITHSTAND HEAT IN WARMER CLIMATES, BUT THEY DID NOT. THIS MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT IS HAZARDOUS AS IT CAN IMPAIR THE DRIVER'S VISION WHEN THE GLARE IS STRONG. I KINDLY REQUEST THAT THE NHTSA TAKE SOME ACTION TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR
