Component

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Manufacturer

What Happened
The Power Window Master Switch in your vehicle controls your power windows. It's a critical part that could be faulty if the grease wasn't applied correctly during its assembly.
Risk if Unfixed
If debris or moisture gets inside the switch, it could cause a short circuit, leading to a fire in the switch assembly. This could happen while you're driving, which is a serious safety risk.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will inspect the switch and apply a lubricant if it's fine. If there's a problem, they'll replace the whole switch circuit board for free. This repair is on the house, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Manufacturer
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
What Happened
The power window switch in your vehicle controls the up and down movement of your windows. In some 2007-2009 models, the lubricant used in this switch might not have been applied correctly, which could cause it to overheat.
Risk if Unfixed
If the switch gets too hot, it could melt, leading to a possible fire. This could put you and others at risk of injury or property damage.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will inspect the switch and apply a special heat-resistant lubricant to prevent overheating, or replace the switch if it's damaged – all at no cost to you. You'll be contacted when it's time for the repair, but if you notice any issues with your windows, don't try to fix it yourself – take it to your dealer instead.

Original — What Happened
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.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Original — 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.
