Any Yaris window switch recall updates?
When I first heard about the Yaris window switch recall, I called my dealership.
After providing the year, make, and model, I was told that I would be receiving a letter about the recall within 2 weeks. However, nearly six weeks have passed and I have received no letter. Has the recall been cancelled? Or has Toyota decided not to inform owners about the recall. |

I received the letter as well (about 40 days after the accident :( )
Been meaning to scan it and post it here for you all to see. I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow.

Got my letter a couple of weeks ago.
I don't want to leave my Yaris with the dealership. Are they just relubing the switch assembly, or replacing it? If replacing, I'd rather install it. |

The recall states it's an inspection and relube.
If I were you I would let the dealer do it so that if there is a subsequent failure that causes a fire there would not be any negative insurance implications. |

Just an FYI: The notification letter from Toyota is NOT needed to have the remedy performed.

Had mine done. About 30 minutes and I was on my way. They likely just lubricated it since it couldn't have been worn. I'd never touched it before reading the notice.

A month ago my left window failed to open. I had to call them to find out why it wouldn't open. A week later i got the recall letter. I went to the dealership to get it fixed.All they did was lubed it up and it's now functioning as per normal.

Does anyone know what substance they "grease" it with?
