Suspension, rearAug 12, 2016
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Toyota RAV4 vehicles manufactured October 31, 2005, to September 7, 2010, and 2010 Lexus HS250h vehicles manufactured July 6, 2009, to August 26, 2010. The affected vehicles have rear suspension arms (rear tie rods) with adjusting lock nuts that may have been improperly tightened after servicing. As a result of being loose, the arm may have thread damage and may rust, possibly leading to the failure of the arm and an abrupt change in the vehicle's alignment.
Failure of the rear tie rod could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners and dealers will replace both rear suspension arms and encapsulate the locknuts, free of charge. The recall began on September 30, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are G0V for Toyota vehicles and GLK for Lexus vehicles. Note: This recall supersedes recall 13V-383, in which some vehicles were only inspected, sealed, and did not have both arms replaced. The affected vehicles were previously recalled under 13V-383, but did not have both rear suspension arms replaced at that time. Those vehicles need to have both arms replaced as part of this recall remedy.

The electrical wiring in the seat heaters may be damaged when the seat cushion is compressed.

Seat belts, rear/otherFeb 19, 2016
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2006-2012 RAV4 vehicles manufactured July 28, 2005, to December 19, 2012, and 2012-2014 RAV4 EV vehicles manufactured July 24, 2012, to August 29, 2014. In the event of a frontal collision, the rear seat belts for the outboard seats may be cut by the seat cushion frame.
A cut seat belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing their risk of injury in a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install a protector over both rear seat cushion frames, free of charge. The recall began on June 24, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is G0F.

Visibility, power window devices and controlsOct 22, 2015
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.

Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleApr 9, 2014
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.

Suspension, rearAug 28, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2011 RAV4 and 2010 Lexus HS250h passenger vehicles manufactured from October 2005 through September 2010. If the nuts for adjusting the rear wheel alignment are improperly tightened during service, the rear suspension arm (rear tie rod) may develop unwanted movement and rust leading to thread damage and eventual failure. Failure of the rear tie rod will cause an abrupt change in the vehicle's alignment.
Failure of the rear tie rod could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tie rods and replace any that have rust or corrosion on the alignment adjustment threads. All of the rear tie rods will then be encased in an epoxy to prevent future environmental damage. Due to limitations in parts, the recall remedy will be launched in phases from September 2013 through mid-April 2014. All owners will receive notification of the recall, with most receiving second notifications when parts are available in their area. IMPORTANT: This recall supersedes Toyota and Lexus recall 12V-373. All vehicles that have been inspected and remedied under the previous recall need to be re-inspected and have the appropriate remedy applied.

ABOUT 8/13/15, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. ON 8/20/15, I HAD A DEALER DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE IS NOT WORKING AND MY AIRBAG WILL MOST LIKELY NOT DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I WENT ONLINE TO SEE WHAT THE SPIRAL CABLE IS MANY RECALL NOTICES FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR BEGAN TO SHOW UP IN THE SEARCH ENGINE. THE WAY THAT THE SERVICE PERSON DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO ME IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DOCUMENTED IN THE RECALL NOTICES, BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I HAVE TALKED WITH BOTH THE DEALER AND A HAVE GOTTEN TO A SUPERVISOR AT TOYOTA, BUT AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK WHETHER THEY ARE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED IN MANY CHAT ROOMS THAT MANY OTHER RAV4 OWNERS HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL. WHEN I LOOK AT DOCUMENTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, THERE IS A DOCUMENT FROM TOYOTA CALLED PART 573, DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT. ON THIS DOCUMENT THE VIN NUMBERS THAT ARE AFFECTED ARE LISTED. MY VIN SEEMS TO FIT, AND I AM NOT SURE WHY MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I AM DOCUMENTING MY ISSUES IN THE HOPES THAT OTHERS WILL TOO AND THE RECALL WILL BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY CAR.

THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR, AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO FULLY REIMBURSE THE REPAIR COST NEEDED SO I COULD DRIVE A SAFE VEHICLE. I THINK THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T USE THE DEALERSHIP--ALTHOUGH I SENT THEM THE CERTIFIED GARAGE STATEMENT THEY REQUESTED AS WELL AS SUBMITTING THE REPAIR RECEIPT, ETC. I DIDN'T USE THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY WANTED MUCH MORE TO REPAIR IT AND HAD A 4 WEEK WAIT TO GET THE PARTS AND REPAIR SCHEDULED.
