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.

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, MY DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR HAS BEEN MAKING A CLICKING NOISE EVERY TIME IT WAS PULLED DOWN OR PUSHED BACK UP, AND STARTED TO HANG APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES DOWN WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE "UP" POSITION. AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY, IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RETRACTING BACK TO THE UP POSITION AND NOW FLOPS/HANGS DOWN BLOCKING VIEW (WHICH IN MY OPINION IS VERY UNSAFE). IN ORDER TO SEE WHEN DRIVING, I NOW HAVE TO PUSH THE VISOR TO THE SIDE. OF COURSE MY WARRANTY HAS LONG EXPIRED (I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2006) AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED, THEY QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $117 FOR THE PART, NOT INCLUDING LABOR TO REPLACE. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE WEBSITES WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I BELIEVE A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FAILS UNDER NORMAL WEAR. ONCE VISOR IS BROKEN IT HANGS DOWN IN THE DRIVERS VIEW CREATING A HAZARD. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO FIX THE VISOR TO ORIGINAL CONDITION ONCE IN A BROKEN STATE. REPLACED VISOR WITH TOYOTA OEM PART. UPON INSPECTION OF THE BROKEN VISOR, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REASON THE ORIGINAL VISOR FAILED WAS BECAUSE THE TENSION BAR IS DEPENDENT ON A METAL CLIP THAT IT RESTRAINED BY THE WEAK PLASTIC HOUSING. REPLACEMENT VISOR SHOULD HAVE BETTER REINFORCEMENT AROUND TENSION BAR. WITHOUT DESTROYING THE REPLACEMENT PART, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE IF A DESIGN CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUN VISORS DO NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN NOT IN USE. THE HAZARD IS THAT WHEN A PERSON ENTERS THE CAR, THE SUN VISOR HITS HIS OR HER HEAD IF THEY ARE NOT CAREFUL.

TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE, I HAVE TIED THE SUN VISOR WITH DUCT TAPE, AND CONNECTED IT TO THE TOP HANDLE AND THE EYE GLASS TRAY (AT THE TOP MIDDLE OF THE CAR CABIN). IF I HAVE TO USE THE VISOR FOR SUN, IT CONSTANTLY SWINGS AND IS A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THEREFORE, I WEAR SUNGLASSES FOR THIS DEFECT. *KB
