Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is C0M.

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

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.

MOTOR OIL IS BURNING EXCESSIVELY I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY WEEKEND AND THE DEALER SAYS IS NORMAL, I THINK IS NOT NORMAL TO KEEP ADDING OIL WHEN THERE IS NO LEAK. DASHBOARD IS PRACTICALLY MELTING IT WAS REPORTED BACK IN MAY BECAUSE IN THE SUMMER TIME IT GETS VERY STICKY THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL TAKE MONTHS OR A YEAR BEFORE THEY COULD FIX IT. RADIO HAS A MALFUNCTION IT WAS REPLACED BACK IN 2014 BECAUSE THE SCREEN TURN BLACK AND NOT ABLE TO TURN IT ON OR OFF. IN 2016 THE RADIO IS HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN FOR THE SAME REASON AND THE DEALER WON'T REPLACE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE THE WARRANTY IS FINISHED.

MY DASHBOARD PANEL IS MELTING IN MY CAR. THE DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY STICKY AND EVERYTHING THAT FALLS ON IT GETS STUCK AND I CANNOT GET IT OFF THE DASHBOARD. I TRY TO CLEAN MY CAR AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO THE DASH. I TRY TO WIPE IT DOWN WITH WATER AND A TOWEL, BUT IT JUST PULLS THE LINT OFF A MICROFIBER TOWEL AND IT GETS STUCK. IT IS REALLY IRRITATING AND I HOPE TOYOTA FIXES MY PROBLEM AND TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS DEFECTS. MY ENTIRE FAMILY DRIVES TOYOTA'S AND IF THEY DO NOT FIX THIS ISSUE, WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE ANY TIES WITH TOYOTA.

I RECEIVED 1ST NOTICE FROM TOYOTA MOTOR REGARDING FACTORY WARANTY EXTENSION BECAUSE OF STICKY DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. I RECEIVED 2ND NOTICE LAST SPRING AND BROUGHT MY CAR TO TOYOTO SERVICE AND VERIFIED THAT MY CAR DASHBOARD NEED TO BE REPKACED. THE PUT THE LINE FOR REPLACEMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO NOTIFY ME. IT WAS APRIL 2016. WHEN I CALLED SEVICE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THEY SAID IT BACK ORDER AND WAITING FOR THE PARTS. THEN I DECIDED TO CALL TOYOTO MOTOR CUSTEMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID MY ORDER WAS IN THE LINE AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS IT WILL BE IN SERVICE. I SAID OK. TWO DATS AGO I CALLED TOUOTO MOTOR AND ASK WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE DELIVERED. THEY SAID THEY DON'T KNOW IT IS BACK ORDER. THEY SAID I AM GOING TO BE NOTIFIED. I WANTED TO TALK THEIR MANEGER . THEY SAID THEIR MABAGER WILL CALL ME. TODAY I HAVE RECEIVED CALL. SHE REPEATED SAME THINGS. IT IS BACKORDER THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN MY DASHBOARD WILL BE REPLACED. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED NOW. I DON'T THING THAT THEY HAVE PLAN TO SATISFY THEIR CUSTOMER. THEY JUST ACT LIKE THEY TAKING CARE THE ISSUE BECAUSE IF COURT ORDER. I SEARCGED MANY TOYOTO OWNER ARE WAITING FOR TOYOTO SERVICES CALL THEM FIR DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT BUT I BELIVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY SERIOUS ACTION. GOVERMENT OFFICES MYST START INVESTIGATION AND CLARIFY WHAT ACTION AND HOW MANY CARS DASHBOARD PROBLEM HAVE BEEN SOLVED AFTER THE COURT ORDER. IT WAS SAFETY PROBLEM AND MY GOVERNMENT SHOULD PUSH TOYOTO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. I WILL TRY TO FIND THE COURT, THE FEDERAL JUDGE AND INFORM THAT TOYOTO LYING MANY TOYOTO OWNER AND THEY DON'T TAKE SERIOUS ACTION TO SOLVE IT. THEIR ONLY ANSWER THE IT IS BACKORDER PART. YOU HAVE TO ORDER THAT HOW MANY CARS' DASHBOARD HAVE VEEN REPLACED OVER KAST 2 YEARS. THE NUMBER WILL GIVE IDEA HOW MUCH THEY CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. IT IS BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF SHINY DASHBOARD.

MY PASSENGER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. IT'S A 2009, BUT PURCHASED IN 2008. FINALLY GOT MY DASHBOARD REPLACED LAST WEEK ALF ASKED ABOUT THE VISOR. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WON'T FIX IT SINCE ITS PASSED THE WARRANTY TIME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOT SINCE IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH IT DOWN ALL THE TIME. I'VE LOVED MY CAMRY, BUT TO SPEND OVER $100 TO FIX THE VISOR IS STEEP.

I PURCHASED MY 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L WHILE STATIONED IN GERMANY, IT WAS MANUFACTURED TO US SPECIFICATIONS AND I BROUGHT IT STATESIDE WITH ME. I RAN MY VIN IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE TO FIND OUT IF THE AIR BAG OR "STICKY" DASH BOARD RECALLS APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. MY VIN DID NOT REGISTER IN THE TOYOTA DATABASE. I CALLED TOYOTA AND THEY RAN MY VIN, THEY EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT VISIBLE IN THEIR DATABASE. THE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN, I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYOTA IN JAPAN OR GERMANY FOR RECALL INFORMATION AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR ANY RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE IN THE US. DOES TOYOTA NOT HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED PROPERLY AND WITH QUALITY MATERIALS TO ENSURE ITS SAFE OPERATION?

I FOUND OUT THE TRUNK LOCK PAD WOULD NOT LOCK, I WAS TOLD TO ORDER A DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR INTEGRATED WITH A LATCH. RECEIVED IT, PUT IT ON AND IT DID THE SAME THING. THIS COULD CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND INJURY TO A PERSON ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN ROUTE. PUT NEW PART ON AND IT WONT LOCK. FEEL ITS DEFECTIVE AND TOYOTA SHOULD HAVE TO ALTAR THE SITUATION.

LIMITED VISIBILITY THRU WINDSHIELD DUE TO DASHBOARD REFLECTION (MELTING DASHBOARD HAS CAUSED A HIGH GLOSS FINISH). THIS CONDITION HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME AND PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. TOYOTA HAS CREATED A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS, HOWEVER, MY DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED THE DASHBOARDS ARE LIMITED AND SAID HE HAS A CUSTOMER ALREADY WAITING 6 MONTHS. I TALKED WITH TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD, COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD WOULD BE AVAILABLE AND REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEM COMPELLED TO REPLACE THESE PARTS IN A TIMELY MANNER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL AND NOT A 'WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT". PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY IS A DANGER FOR ANY OWNER. WITH THE DASHBOARD BEING STICKY/MELTING, WHEN LIGHT HITS THE DASHBOARD IT CAUSES MAJOR BLIND SPOTS THAT COULD CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE TO BE ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU COULD POTENTIALLY RUN OVER PEOPLE OR HIT OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE GLARE FROM THE MELTING DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD.
