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.

TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2010 AVALON, MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 CAMRY, MODEL YEAR 2009-2010 COROLLA, COROLLA MATRIX, RAV4, MODEL YEAR 2010 HIGHLANDER, MODEL YEAR 2008-2010 SEQUOIA, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2010 TUNDRA VEHICLES. 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.

SUDDEN CLUSTER FAILURE OF DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING, POSSIBLE SHORT IN ABS CONTROL SYSTEM CAUSES LOSS OF ODOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER, JUMPING NEEDLE FOR ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND TACHOMTETER, LOSS OF GEAR INDICATOR LIGHT. BOTH CHECK ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED. UNPLUGGING ABS REMEDIES ENGINE, TACHOMETER, AND GEAR INDICATOR.

I PURCHASED A 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY ON JUNE 23, 2008. AFTER A FEW YEARS, THE DASHBOARD BECAME SOFT AND STICKY. JUST THIS LAST SUMMER, I NOTICED IT MELTING ON A HOT SUNNY DAY. I LOOKED INTO HAVING IT REPLACED. THERE WAS A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT NOTIFICATION LETTER PREVIOUSLY SENT TO ME, WHICH STATED THIS TYPE OF KNOWN PROBLEM WOULD BE COVERED FOR UP TO 10 YEARS SINCE CAR WAS FIRST PLACED IN SERVICE. UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T DETERMINE THIS WAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM TO ME UNTIL JUNE 28, 2018. I MISSED THE WARRANTY EXTENSION BY 5 DAYS. I CONTACTED NEWBOLD TOYOTA ON JUNE 29, 2018, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT AFTER THE 10 YEARS, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, EXCEPT TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT APPROX. $1,500 FOR THE DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT "OH WELL, I CAN LIVE WITH THIS." BUT NOW THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED SO MUCH THAT IT NOW REFLECTS SUNLIGHT INTO THE WINDSHIELD SO BADLY THAT IT IS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN ON A SUNNY DAY (EVEN WHILE WEARING SUNGLASSES). SO THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS NOW CAUSING VERY HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITION. SO I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY SAID ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING AS NEWBOLD TOYOTA. THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO NOW. SINCE THIS DESIGN/MATERIAL FLAW HAS CAUSED SUCH A SERIOUS HAZARD WHEN DRIVING THE CAR, AND THIS IS NOW A SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE TOYOTA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR, I HAD NO IDEA THE DASHBOARD HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE. IF ONLY I HAD NOTICED THE MELTING A FEW DAYS EARLIER THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT. WHY DOES THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX A DEFECT/SAFETY ISSUE END AFTER 10 YEARS. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTO TO SHOW REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD BUT BLINDING GLARE IS MUCH WORSE IN PERSON.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOMPSON TOYOTA (1101 BUSINESS CENTER WAY, EDGEWOOD, MD 21040, (410) 679-1500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE TOYOTA DASH MELTING, CRACKING WARRANTY EXTENSION (LSC ZE6) PROGRAM; HOWEVER, THE PROGRAM HAD EXPIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO AUTHORIZE THE DEALER TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED HAVING THE DEALER REPLACE THE PART. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

STICKY DASH 'NOTIFICATION' OR LACK THEREOF, I CALLED TOYOTA TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, SINCE THE CAR IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF THE SECONDARY WARRANTY I'M SCREWED AND STUCK WITH A STICKY, STINKING (COSTLY -$1600) MESS. I'VE TRIED CLEANING IN WITH NUMEROUS PRODUCTS SAFE FOR THE MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL, THINKING IT WAS SOMETHING ON IT. I DECIDED TODAY TO GOOGLE AND SEE IF I COULD FIND A CLEANER/RESOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. I WORK LONG HOURS AND HONESTLY DIDN'T THINK IT COULD BE A DEFECTIVE DASH. THE DASH HAS EVEN STARTED TO CRACK. I LIVE IN HOT, HUMID ALABAMA AND PICKING DEAD FLIES ETC FROM THE STICKY MESS ISN'T AN EASY OR ENJOYABLE JOB. I THINK TOYOTA SHOULD REPLACE THIS DASH IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAR IS FINALLY PAID FOR AND NOW THIS ... ARGHHH WHAT A PAIN !

IT CASTS A JARRING GLARE ONTO THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. VISIBILITY IS COMPROMISED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM.
