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.

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.

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.

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 WAS DRIVING INTO MY GARAGE AND HAD JUST BRAKE TO LET IT EASE IN. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED AND LUNGED FORWARD. THE BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK, AND IT WAS AS IF THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT HIT THE CRATE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF THE WALL, AND FORCED A BIKE RACK THROUGH THE WALL. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS CRACKED IN PLACES. THE CAR THEN STOPPED. SO SCARY! I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT TALK TO ME. I NEEDED TO CALL THE CORPORATION, WHICH I DID. AFTER TWO MONTHS OF WAITING ON A DECISION, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND THAT'S THAT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER INCIDENTS WITH TOYOTAS JUST LIKE MINE. I AM PETRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR, AND YET I AM ALSO AFRAID TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE ELSE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE HURT. I HAVE CALLED TOYOTA, AND THEY DO NOT RETURN MY CALLS I AM WONDERING WHAT I CAN DO. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE IN MAY 2006 (THE VIN PLATE SHOWS IT WAS MADE IN KENTUCKY). 2007 WAS A NEW BODY STYLE. THE CAMRY HAD A TACH WELD DEFECT IN THE RIGHT REAR FENDER WELL. ORIGINALLY THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS MY REAR GRAB HANDLE SHAKING. I KNEW IT WASN'T. HAVING NO OTHER RECOURSE, I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE. THEY FLEW IN 2 TECH SERVICE ENGINEERS FROM CA TO MY STATE, AND WITH THE DEALER, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY (OR NO) TACH WELD IN THE RR FENDER WELL CAUSING THE FRAME OF THE BODY TO STRIKE TOGETHER. THE CAR WAS SENT TO A WELDING SHOP AND THE DEFECT WAS REPAIRED.
