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. 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.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. THE ARM THAT GOES INTO THE SUN VISOR CAME OUT OF THE SUN VISOR. IT SEEMS THAT IT BROKE THE PLASTIC INSIDE THE VISOR THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE. THIS CAUSED THE VISOR TO KEEP FALLING AND NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT CREATED A HAZARD SO I COMPLETELY REMOVED THE VISOR. THE TAB ON THE BAR THAT ALLOWS THE VISOR TO SNAP INTO PLACE HAS BECOME VERY STIFF TO WHERE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ROTATE AROUND. THE STIFFNESS OF THE ARM SEEMS TO BE WHAT PROBABLY BROKE THE PLASTIC. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE. THE VISOR WON'T STAY UP. IT FLOPS DOWN AND IS DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. E.G. THE UPPER HALF OF MY VISIBILITY IS GONE. IT CAN'T BE MOVED TO THE SIDE EITHER, AS IT IS BROKEN AT THE TOP. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WITH THE BROKEN SUN VISOR, I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN TODAY DUE TO THE LIMITED VISIBILITY. TOYOTA DEALER CHARGES $160 TOTAL TO REPLACE IT. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR WELL. I READ COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER CAMRY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. TOYOTA DEALER CHARGES $160 TOTAL TO REPLACE IT. *TT

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR SUDDENLY FLOPPED DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT, CAUSING ME TO ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL NOT STAY UP OR PUSHED BACK OUT OF THE WAY- IT FALLS TO THE LOWEST POINT, DIRECTLY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD. I TRIED MOVING IT TO THE SIDE, BUT IT BLOCKS MY VISION HERE. I HAVE NOT SEEN THE DEALER YET, BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FORMS I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN TOYOTA'S THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THERE ARE OVER 230 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THIS DATABASE FOR JUST THE 2007 CAMRY. FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, TOYOTA THINKS IT IS NO BIG DEAL TO PAY $100-$200 TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS SHODDY BUILT. HOWEVER, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND THE DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IN ALL MODELS IMMEDIATELY, REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY OR MILEAGE. IT OBVIOUSLY IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME BUT THEY CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE POTENTIAL SERIOUSNESS OF THIS MALFUNCTION. *JB

AS I PUT THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR UP TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT, SOMETHING BROKE IN THE MECHANISM THAT HOLDS THE VISOR UP AND IT FLOPPED BACK DOWN. IT WON'T STAY UP AND IT WON'T STAY AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD -- IT JUST HANGS DOWN ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, LEAVING YOU WITH ABOUT 4-5 INCHES OF VISIBILITY OUT ONTO THE ROAD, EVEN LESS IF YOU'RE TALL. I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AS I WAS DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT 40 MILES AN HOUR! IT'S A VERY UNSAFE FEELING TO DRIVE STOOPED DOWN TO SEE THROUGH THE OPENING OR WITH ONE HAND HOLDING THE VISOR UP SO YOU CAN SEE AHEAD TO WHAT IS COMING UP IN FRONT OF YOU. SINCE THIS WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN TO MOST PEOPLE AFTER THE 3-YEAR WARRANTY RUNS OUT AND MANY PEOPLE WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR, IT'S A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, AS IT APPEARS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *JB
