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.

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.

THIS ISSUE CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD AS IT OBSTRUCTS MY VIEW DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TO MOVE THE VISOR TO THE SIDE IN ORDER TO HAVE A FULL VIEW AHEAD. IF THE VISOR IS LEFT IN FRONT OF ME THEN IT IS HARD TO SEE TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN FRONT OF ME AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART AS IT CAN BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD. *TR
