Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
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.

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.

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.

ON MARCH 9, 2010 I TOOK MY 09 TOYOTA CAMRY IN FOR THE FLOORMAT RECALL AND TO HAVE THE CRUISE CONTROL LOOKED AT FOR AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL SLOWS DOWN IT WILL KICK INTO ABOUT 5,000 RPM'S FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND PUT ME AT LEAST 10 MPH OVER THE SPEED I SET IT TO. (WHICH IS USUALLY WHEN I TURN IT OFF!!!) WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP AT THE END OF THE DAY I NOTICED THAT MY GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN SHAVED OFF AT THE BOTTOM MAKING IT VERY SHORT AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE WITH PLUS MY FLOOR MATS HAD NOT BEEN MODIFIED AS I WAS TOLD THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED BUT TO BRING MY CAR BACK IF I HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IT IS 'NORMAL' FOR TOYOTA CARS TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON (AT 5,000 RPMS??? REALLY???)AND THAT A 5-8 MPH DIFFERENCE IN THE SPEED YOU SET THE CRUISE CONTROL AT IS ALSO 'NORMAL'. I JUST LOOKED UP THE KBB ON MY CAR AND THINK I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT WITHOUT A LOSS. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING IT. *TR

WHILE MERGING ONTO I-5 I PUSHED THE RESUME SPEED SELECTION ON SPEED CONTROL. THE CAR SPED UP AND EXCEEDED THE PRESET SPEED OF 59 MPH AND REACHED 80 MPH. NEITHER APPLYING THE BRAKES OR PUSHING THE SPEED CONTROLS ON/OFF SWITCH TURNED THE SPEED CONTROL OFF.
