TAKATA RECALL I JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL AND I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE LIVED IN HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING TEMPERATURES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. IT IS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING TO KNOW THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR YOU OR YOUR PASSENGERS. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY LOVED ONES THAT TAKATA WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN 2004. FOUR YEARS BEFORE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE THAT AFTER BUYING A CARE BRAND NEW AND PAYING IN FULL THAT YOU SHOULD DISCOVER YOUR LIFE, AND THE LIVES OF YOUR FAMILY WERE NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BY THE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS FOR SOME TIME. IT IS INFURIATING THAT THEY DIDN'T OFFER A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, SUCH AS REMOVING THE AIR BAG UNTIL THE PARTS COULD BE REPLACED. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO HOPE THAT MY AIR BAG ISN'T DEPLOYED FOR ANY REASON, WHICH MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: IN APRIL, 2016, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TOYOTA THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD BE RECALLED FOR AN AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. FURTHERMORE, I WAS NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT WAS MADE. THIS IS A HARDSHIP. TOYOTA AND MY DEALER, GATORLAND TOYOTA IN GAINESVILLE, FL, AGREED TO LOAN ME A RENTAL CAR FREE OF CHARGE IF NEEDED DUE TO HARDSHIP. I HAVE USED A RENTAL CAR FROM GATORLAND TWICE NOW, BUT THIS IS INCONVENIENT. FURTHERMORE, MY VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH ITS FULL VALUE FOR RESALE WITHOUT THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. REPLACEMENT IS NOW SCHEDULED FOR MAY 2017, ACCORDING TO GATORLAND, BUT THIS DATE HAS BEEN MOVED BACK SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY.

TAKATA RECALL 16V-340: I WAS NOTIFIED BY TOYOTA THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS 3 MONTHS AGO. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND WAS UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATED TIMEFRAME IN WHICH IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK. THE TOYOTA NOTIFICATION INDICATED THAT IF I BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER OR TOYOTA HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME, I MAY SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA VIA THIS SITE, AND SO AM DOING SO. TOYOTA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT VEHICLES MEET SAFETY STANDARDS AND THAT WHEN A SAFETY CONCERN IS IDENTIFIED IT IS ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER. THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED IN THIS REGARD. IT IS UNREASONABLE TO ASK VEHICLE OWNERS TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER CAN GET AROUND TO FIXING THE PROBLEM.

Oct 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
Apr 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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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.
Oct 10, 2012
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Remedy: 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.
Jan 21, 2010
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: 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. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON FEBRUARY 5, 2010 AND WILL BE COMPLETED ON MARCH 15, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.
Aug 27, 2009

WHEN DRIVING UNDER CERTAIN UNIQUE CONDITIONS IN EXTREMELY LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SUCTION PORT FOR THE BRAKE VACUUM CAN BECOME BLOCKED DUE TO THE FREEZING OF CONDENSATION RESULTING FROM POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED INTAKE AIR CONNECTOR WHICH WILL RELOCATE THE BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PORT. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.
