Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 Rav4, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota Venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Prius, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2011 Scion XD, 2011 Scion XB, and 2012 Scion TC vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

Air bags, frontal, sensor/control module-inactiveJan 16, 2013
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.

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.

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.

DURING A SHORT TRIP THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I DON'T RECALL EXACTLY WHEN THE LIGHT APPEARED, WHILE SITTING STILL OR WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. SINCE THE INCIDENT I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO TOYOTA 3 TIMES. EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER HAD IT FOR A TOTAL OF 25 DAYS. THE RESPONSE IS THAT WHILE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR PASSENGERS SHOULD FIRST SIT IN THE CAR AND BUCKLE THE SEAT BELT BEFORE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION. I HAVE CONTACT THE TOYOTA EXPERIENCE CENTER AND WHILE THEY FIRST AGREED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL THEY CONTACTED THE TOYOTA FIELD TECHNICIAN AND I WAS TOLD THAT MOVEMENT OF A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT CAN CAUSE THE (MALFUNCTION) SRS LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH DISABLES THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I HAVE ASKED WHY THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED DURING THE FIRST 3-1/2 YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR AND DON'T GET ANY ANSWER. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS THE SRS LIGHT CAN COME ON WHILE ON AN EXTENDED TRIP AND IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY. *TR

I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH. SHOT OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FLEW INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AND TREE. THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED BUT MY AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THANK GOD FOR MY SEAT BELT.

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON NEW YEARS EVE 2012 I LOST CONTROL OF MY 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY AND WENT OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TELEPHONE POLE AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS KNOCKED UNCONCIOUS AND SUFFERED IMMEDIATELY NOTICABLE INJURIES TO MY FACE, ARMS, CHEST AND KNEES. THE POLICE SAID I WAS NOT WEARING MY SEATBELT AND NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AT ALL. I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEATBELT, NO MATTER WHAT! ON TOP OF THAT, THE DINGER THAT GOES OFF WHEN THERE IS NO SEATBELT ON IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALONE WOULD CAUSE ME TO PUT IT ON. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LISTEN TO A DINGER FOR A 45 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND NOT PUT MY SEATBELT ON, AND I WAS 10 MINUTES FROM WORK WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THE SEATBELT WAS CLIPPED ENOUGH TO TURN OFF THE DINGER BUT NOT ENOUGH TO LOCK BECAUSE MY INJURIES INDICATE THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRUISING OR MARKS FROM A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD HAD CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH A SEALTBELT THAT WORKED AND AN AIRBAG THAT DEPLOYED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE SECOND ACCIDENT WHERE THIS CAR DID NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAG. THE FIRST WAS A REAREND THAT SHOVED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AFTER INSURANCE LOOKED AT THE CAR, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS FROM THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. *TR
