Who else got the recall letter?

[junorico24]

Ok, so here's there story, on Thursday. I noticed my left windows wouldn't open, I contacted Toyota. They said they would have to have a look at it.Apparently it could be the motor or wiring. Then this morning, i receive a pleasant surprise.

Here's some portion of the letter.

The recall is due to the power window master switch, located on the drivers arm rest, not operating smoothly ( sticky feel) this is due to the non-uniform application of lubricating grease resulting in wear to the internal sliding contact points. In some instances, the switch may become inoperative.

The worst case, if the commercially available lubricant has been applied to the switch attempting to rectify this operation, the switch assembly may overheat and melt.

This recall is precautionary measure.The switch will be checked mechanically and electrically for correct operation and specialized electrical grease will then be applied to ensure it operates smoothly when pressed.Toyota expects only a small number of vehicles will require the power window electrical circuit board to be replaced.

Our records indicate that your Toyota was manufactured within the range of vehicles that requires rectification.We kindly request that you contact your preferred Toyota dealer.

:headbang: Thank you Toyota, great service.OH WHAT A FEELING LOL :laugh:

No .. my windows work perfectly. I am just going to take it to the dealer cause I want to resolve any issues that may occur in the future.

It is winter time now .. so the windows will be closed for the next 7 months anyways.

Well, my right side works.The left side is the one out of order.

I wont have to pay a cent to get it fixed?

I was told to bring the "letter" this Thursday when I will have my left window looked out.

Tell them you want the crank window option instead of fixing the switch.:evil:

So, does this defect only affect the passenger side window or both? Do both windows exhibit the "sticky" operation or just the passenger side window? What about the switch on the driver's side window?

Or does the power window master switch control both windows and it happens to be located in the passenger side and that's why only that side has to have it's part lubricated?

So confusing....

No, it's for all of them, it dealt with any window that was had the sticky operation.
The entire circuit board on mine was replaced.
