WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN EARLY DECEMBER, 2013 REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V442000 DEALING WITH THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE. AT THAT TIME, WE CALLED OUR TOYOTA DEALER FOR THE RELATED SERVICE AND WERE TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE IN LIMITED SUPPLY AND THE EARLIEST WE COULD HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED WAS IN FEBRUARY, 2014. WE MADE THE APPOINTMENT. WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TODAY, 1/20/2014, THAT THE APPOINTMENT WAS BEING CANCELLED AS TOYOTA COULD NOT MEET THE CURRENT DEMAND FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART. WE WERE TOLD TO CHECK BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO SEE IF THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED. WE ASKED WHAT TO DO IF A PROBLEM OCCURS IN THE MEANTIME AND WE WERE TOLD TO THEN CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE ASKED HOW THEY WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY ARE SAYING REPLACEMENT PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE, THE QUESTION WAS LEFT UNANSWERED. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR MY 2012 TOYOTA CAMRY, THAT INVOLVES THE HVAC HOUSING AND THE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY REGULAR SERVICE DEALERSHIP (BRONX TOYOTA) AND TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CONSULTANT, THAT THE INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIR COULD TAKE THREE TO FIVE DAYS.WHEN I ASKED, HOW WILL I BE COMPENSATED FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE, I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER ( 888 270 9371) AND WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. I DRIVE TWENTY MILES ONE WAY TO WORK, MONDAYS TO FRIDAYS. I LEAVE HOME ABOUT 8 AM AND RETURN ABOUT 7 PM. I DEPEND ON MY VEHICLE FOR MY LIVELIHOOD, THAT IS WHY I DRIVE A TOYOTA. IT IS NOT FAIR TO BE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES, JUST TO GET TRANSPORTATION TO GO TO WORK WHILE THEY REPAIR MY VEHICLE FROM A RECALL. WHO ELSE DO I NEED TO CONTACT? PLEASE ADVISE.

PURCHASED A 2012 CAMRY FROM WILSON MOTORS IN BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON. RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY THAT AIR CONDITIONING WATER COULD LEAK INTO THE AIR BAG CONTROL WE NEEDED TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE. RECALL INDICATED THAT AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR A CAR CRASH. WILSON MOTORS COULD NOT GIVE US AN APPOINTMENT FOR ONE MONTH BECAUSE TOYOTA MOTORS USA WILL ONLY ALLOW THEM TO FIX ONE CAR PER DAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. IT SHOULD BE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, NOT AT A RATE THAT SATISFIES TOYOTA MOTORS USA. *TR

Official recalls
2Oct 17, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
