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.

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.

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.

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.

A "STICKY" AND CRACKING DASHBOARD FROM FLORIDA HEAT CAUSES A HUGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAKES VISIBILITY EXTREMELY LIMITED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NOT USED ANY CLEANING OR POLISHING PRODUCTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONVINCED IT IS JUST FROM HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY OVER TIME. AFTER NOTICING THE PROBLEM I TRIED TO REDUCE DIRECT SUNLIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD BY USING WINDSHIELD COVERS; HOWEVER, THE DASH STILL REMAINED "STICKY" AND THE COVERS JUST SIMPLY STUCK TO THE DASH. THE ISSUE USED TO ONLY OCCUR WHEN IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE, BUT NOW THE DASH HAS BEEN "MELTED" SO MUCH SO THAT IT HAS BECOME GLOSSY. WHICH MEANS EVEN IN COOLER TEMPERATURES THE DASH REFLECTS ANY SUNLIGHT AND CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. AGAIN, THIS ISSUE HIGHLY DECREASES VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO PERFORM THE EASIEST MANEUVERS SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE. I HAVE EVEN BOUGHT EXPENSIVE POLAROID SUNGLASSES TO SOMEWHAT REDUCE THE GLARE, BUT VISIBILITY IS STILL DIFFICULT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

I STARTED TO FEEL STICKY SPOTS ON THE TOP-SIDE DASHBOARD FACING WINDSHIELD. THE SOFT, STICKY SPOTS WERE ACCUMULATING LIGHT-COLORED DUST OVER THE PAST YEAR. THEY WERE NOT GREASY, BUT EXTREMELY STICKY AND TACKY TO THE TOUCH. THE ACCUMULATED DUST WAS NOT CLEANABLE OR ABLE TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGING DASHBOARD MATERIAL. (I RUBBED OFF THE TOP LAYER OF PLASTIC TRYING TO GENTLY CLEAN WITH A WET POLY TOWEL). THEY WERE STARTING TO REFLECT OFF MY WINDSHIELD DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. I IGNORED THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE BUT LATELY NOTICED THE INTERIOR GLARE IS GETTING WORSE TOWARD THE FRONT OF MY DASHBOARD AT THE WINDSHIELD JUNCTION. IT'S ESPECIALLY PRESENT ON BRIGHT DAYS WHERE THE SUN IS HIGH UP. THIS IS PRESENTING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH REGARDS TO OUTWARD DRIVING VISIBILITY. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND I STARTED A PROBLEM CASE WITH THEM. I AM AWAITING FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT TOYOTA WANTS TO DO NEXT WITH MY VEHICLE. A SPECIAL "WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT" HAS BEEN STARTED TO ADDRESS THIS "COSMETIC CONCERN."
