For the vehicle part of the six models Vitz and Belta, I reported to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport following the recall of content on 10 October 2012.

Illustration where improvement

One. Status of the problem
Some of the power window switch on the driver's door, grease for lubrication of the switch is not uniformly applied, that the lubricity is deteriorated grease is carbonized by (spark) arc generated in the contact portion at the time of switch operation have. Therefore, there is a possibility that the sliding switch is deteriorated, and the contact malfunction worn early.
Further, when applied to a commercial lubricant like trying to improve the sliding switch failure may cause the switch to melting.
2. The contents of improvement
And replace it with a switch board coated with a heat-resisting grease, about what to check all vehicles, the power window switches, malfunction is confirmed, but otherwise, grease the heat resistance at the contact.
Also, about what the inspection above, was applied to the heat-resistant grease, Then, if malfunction occurs, we replace the power window switch.

My dealer said that I would be receiving a recall letter in about two weeks. It has now been over six weeks. Has Toyota decided not to inform owners about the recall?

Update...of course, I just received the recall letter...6 weeks after my dealer informed me about it.

For those who have had their Yaris' fixed for the power window switch recall, what were your experiences? Did you only take your car in when you noticed the window exhibiting the "notchy/sticky" operation or did you take it in regardless of that? I'm assuming they have to remove the door side panel to get to the internal window parts? Did the service people do a good job, did they mess anything up or break anything in the process?

I want to take my car in for this recall but I'm a little hesitant as to if it's really necessary and also I'm scared they might end up messing something up in the process.

I took my car in ... they fixed the problem (even though I never experienced any problems in the past with my windows), and you would have never known that they did anything. Everything was perfectly done.

I haven't seen no posts on this so I'll put it in the right spot.

I took my 2007 liftback in for the window switch service recently, and it went very quickly. The switch did seem a bit notchy before, but I don't know if they just greased it or replaced it.

On the rusty lower front suspension bolts, I asked if they had seen any that have failed here. They said no, and they had no replacements in stock. I see the bolts for about $4 each on various websites, so I may pick them up and replace them anyway in the future.

This is what I got on my Toyota Owner's profile...hope the picture shows up I'm attaching it. Apparently, Toyota is working on a solution in the near future.

I just got my Seat Track recall letter

I received the spiral cable one for my 09 yesterday.

[Steveh27]

I got the spiral cable one for my 2010 yesterday. Wonder when the other arrives & how long it'll take them to come up with a repair & tell us to bring them in?

[fnkngrv]

I still haven't heard shit and I checked the website. My car will receive both. This is a real concern too since I will be cannibalizing another seat to mount my racing seat to.
