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.

IT WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAD TO REMOVE THE VISOR MANUALLY FOR MY OWN SAFETY AND FOUND THAT THE PARTS INSIDE WERE DAMAGED. MY SUSPICION IS THAT IT WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED SINCE MY 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY HAS HAD NO SUN VISOR ISSUES AFTER 13 YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR. LUCKILY I NOTICED PROBLEM AND DID NOT START DRIVING IMMEDIATELY. I HAD TO USE MY LEFT ARM TO HOLD THE SUN VISOR UP FOR MY DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT VISIBILITY ISSUES AND LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS.
