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.

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.

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.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUNVISOR IS DEFECTIVE IN MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND THE VISOR SUDDENLY FELL FROM ITS UP-AND-LOCKED POSITION. THE FIRST TIME IT FELL, I PUSHED THE VISOR BACK UP INTO ITS UP POSITION AND IT MANAGED TO STAY LOCK, ALBEIT NOT AS STURDY. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE INABILITY OF THE SUNVISOR TO STAY UP INTENSIFIED TO THE POINT WHERE THE THING WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE SUNVISOR TIED UP SO IT DOES NOT OBSTRUCT MY VIEW WHILE DRIVING. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A REPLACEMENT FOR THE VISOR. HOWEVER, TOYOTA CONSIDERS THE SUNVISOR TO BE A "TRIM" ITEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE THE VISOR, EVEN THOUGH I AM COVERED UNDER THEIR PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I AM AFRAID IN AN ACCIDENT I MIGHT SLAM MY HEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN VISOR, SO I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. CONTACTED THE DEALER, AND THEY WANT $260 TO REPLACE WITH THE SAME VISOR. LOOKING ONLINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, AND I SHOULD EXPECT THE REPLACEMENT TO BREAK AS WELL, INCLUDING THE PASSENGER SIDE EVENTUALLY. PLEASE ASK FOR A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! IN THE MEANTIME I INTEND TO REMOVE THE VISOR AND JUST DRIVE WITHOUT ONE AS THERE IS NO SAFE REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE AND TOYOTA HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT A MONTH AGO HAD TWO VISORS FELL DOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPRINGS THAT HOLD THEM SNAPPED OFF THE SAME DAY. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR FELL DOWN AND IS BEING HELD UP BY TAPE. I WENT IN TO TOYOTA AND THEY SAID SORRY IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY YOU HAVE TO PAY $240.00 FOR TWO VISORS. I AM FURIOUS AS I HAVE BEEN READING TO MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY RECALL AS IT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE DRIVER. NO ONE IS RECALLING THESE AS A ROAD HAZARD. IT CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH IF FALLEN WHILE DRIVING AND OBSTRUCTS VIEW LIKE IT DID ME. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP WITH MY FINGERS WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF IT WERE MAYBE 2-6 I CAN SEE DOING IT YOURSELF BUT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON LINE AND FILED MY QUESTION IS WHY HAVE YOU WAITED SO LONG TO FIND TOYOTA AT FAULT FOR FAULTY PARTS? HOW IS IT THAT HUNDREDS OF THESE FOR THE 2007 HAVE BROKE AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME ALL OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ENOUGH TO CAUSE GREAT CONCERN.... THIS TELLS ME THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT TOYOTAS EXPENSE. I AM OUTRAGED THAT YOU HAVE NOT MADE THIS A RECALL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FILED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY, THE SUN VISOR SLIPPED DOWN INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO "FOLD/ SNAP" IT BACK IN PLACE. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE ARM PIECE, THAT INSERTS INTO THE ACTUAL SUN VISOR WAS BROKEN/ CRACKED. I HAD TO DRIVE HOLDING THE SUN VISOR OUT OF MY VISION WITH ONE HAND AND THE OTHER HAND ON THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS THE THIRD PERSON IN TWO WEEKS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME MODEL CAR. THE PART COULD NOT BE ORDERED FROM THE "DISTRIBUTION PLACE" BECAUSE THE SUN VISORS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I HAD TO REMOVE MY HANGING SUN VISOR BECAUSE IT WAS A RISK AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE BACK ORDER.

WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE PASSENGER SIDE VISOR POPPED OUT OF PLACE AND NOW IT WILL NOT STAY UP. I TALKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAY THAT IT WILL COST $200.00 OR MORE TO REPLACE BOTH. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND THAT MANY MORE TOYOTA CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THE VISOR CLIPS ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE PART(S) IN THESE VISORS.

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT I CAN COUNT ON TOYOTA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AT NO CHARGE, BUT I AM GETTING NO WHERE WITH THE DEALERSHIP.
