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.

DASHBOARD OF SUBJECT VEHICLE STARTED DISPLAYING SIGNS OF A VERY STICKY SUBSTANCE IN THE SUMMER OF 2013. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC. OF 2010 WITH ONE PREVIOUS OWNER .. SIGNS OF MELTING DASHBOARD DID NOT APPEAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS PAST THE WARRANTY. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT NUMEROUS TOYOTA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DEALING WITH TOYOTA DIRECTLY, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD BUT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $624 IN LABOR. MY POSITION IS THAT THIS IS EITHER A PRODUCTS LIABILITY, IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR LATENT DEFECT ISSUE AND HAS NO BEARING ON AN EXPIRED WARRANTY. IN ADDITION, THERE MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG DUE TO DETERIORATING DASHBOARD, NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF TOXIC FUMES CIRCULATING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL DUE TO NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (SEE HTTP://TSIKOT.COM/FORUMS/TOYOTA-CARS-TALK-80/2008-CAMRY-STICKY-DASHBOARD-89916/ ALSO HTTP://WWW.JUSTANSWER.COM/TOYOTA/70NO2-TOYOTA-CAMRY-SE-STICKY-DASHBOARD-2007 CAMRY-HOW.HTML AND HTTP://WWW.HOWTOMAKE.ORG/0PVGKMONEYLS3W74/TOYOTA-CAMRY-STICKY-DASHBOARD.HTML). *TR
