NEWS RELEASE THAT TOYOTA DEALERS STOP SEALING 2013 AND 14 TOYOTA CAMRYS AS WELL AS 5 OTHER VEHICLE STYLES DUE TO THE FLAME RETARDANT MATERIALS IN THE HEATED SEATS ARE NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA. MY CONCERN IS DOES THIS FLAME RETARDANT MATERIAL GIVE OFF A VAPOR OR FUME WHEN THE SEAT HEATER IS OPERATED. I AM DIAGNOSED AS MULTIPLE CHEMICAL SENSITIVE AND MY EYES BURN OR ARE IRRITATED, AS WELL AS I EXPERIENCE BREATHING IRRITATION WHEN THE SEATS ARE OPERATIONAL. I HAVE STOPPED USING THE SEATS SINCE THE NEWS RELEASE (LAST 2 DAYS) BUT STILL NOTICE MILDER IRRITATION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS SINCE AROUND OCTOBER 2013, WHICH WOULD BE THE START OF COOLER WEATHER IN COLORADO. IS A CHEMICAL VAPOR PRODUCED, DOES IT INFILTRATE THE CAR INTERIOR? *JS

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.
