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.

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.

ON MARCH 5 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FDR IN NY I STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE AND NOTICED THAT A FIRE WAS EMERGING FROM THE COMPARTMENT IN FRONT OF THE SHIFT CONTROL AREA. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND JUMPED OUT IN TIME BEFORE MY CAR WAS FULLY INFLAMED; THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE BURNED DOWN. AN INSPECTION OF MY CARE REVEALED THAT IT DID NOT COME FROM THE ENGINE (AS IT IS STILL INTACT) AND I BELIEVE IT WAS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE (AS I HAD AN EVENT IN 2010 WHERE THE POWER CONTROL FOR THE WINDOW CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED-THIS CAUSED THE WINDOWS TO NOT WORK, WHICH IS MY REASON IN REPORTING THE NON FUNCTIONING WINDOWS TO TOYOTA). I HAD MY CAR SERVICED BY TOYOTA A WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN AND NOW AFTER THE FACT (I HAVE CONTACTED TOYOTA MYSELF) THERE IS NO REVIEW FOR THE SAFETY/POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL FIRES/MALFUNCTIONS FOR THESE CARS. ALTHOUGH I ESCAPED PHYSICALLY UNHARMED, THE TRAGEDY OF THE EVENT IS STILL FRESH IN MY MIND AND IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY AND I PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007 THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED AUGUST 1, 2013 A FEW DAYS AFTER IT HAD EXPIRED MY DRIVER SIDE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP! I DO NOT HANG ANYTHING ON IT LIKE CD HOLDER OR ANYTHING. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE IT MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN I AM DRIVING AND I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SENSE THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2007 CAMRY WITH THIS SAME SITUATION AND IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR MANY CAMRY OWNERS. THE VISOR SOMETIMES EVEN HITS ME IN THE HEAD WHEN I TRY TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY ONE AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. SEEMS LIKE TOYOTA DOES NOT CARE FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. ALSO ON TOP OF THE VISOR MY SHOCK COIL BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DID COVER SENSE IT HAPPENED BEFORE AUGUST 1ST BUT NOW THE STRUT IS LEAKING OIL ON THAT SAME SIDE, I BROUGHT IT TO THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JUNE 2013 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WON'T REPLACE IT BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL IT IS NOT 100% BROKEN YET AND TOLD ME THE WARRANTY WONT COVER IT UNTIL IT COMPLETELY BLOWS! I TOLD THEM I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD THAT I HAVE TO THINK OF THIS SAFETY ALONG WITH MINE AND WAS SHOCKED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT IS LEAKING OIL (WHICH IS NOT GOOD) CAUSE AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING IT CAN BUST THAT TOYOTA DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT, ITS NOT LIKE IT WILL HEAL ON ITS OWN SO I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER MY WARRANTY THAT I PAID ALMOST $1000.00 FOR WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR!
