NHTSA probes Toyota drivers door window switch
http://bottomline.msnbc.msn.com/_new...-million-autos
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker is looking into reports that the window switches on the driver’s side doors of a number of different Toyota models can overheat and catch fire. The problem has so far been linked to 161 fires and nine injuries. This includes some Yaris subcompacts from the 2007 to 2009 model years. |

I got a 2009 camry also never a problem. Never took it back for B/S recall. Better a bad Toyota than a good Ford or Chevy what ever that crap fait makes.

They will just rub on some high temp grease . That will probably just attract dust and screw up the switch over time. I'll pass, thanks!

Then there's that one jerk "I thought they were reliable, they sure have a lot of recalls"...

Here is some more information from the Toyota USA Newsroom
The MSNBC story posted above mentions, That, in fact, is now the case, with the NHTSA targeting an additional 800,000 vehicles, including some Yaris subcompacts from the 2007 to 2009 model years, as well as the entire 2008 Highlander Hybrid SUV run. And the story I linked from Toyota just mentions 07's and 08's. But the NHTSA includes 09's. So who knows, I'll wait and see if I get something in the mail. |

Fluorine or Fluorinated grease is pretty common in the aerospace industry. It is typically used between Titanium or super high precision parts. Bicycle shops sell Finish Line Extreme Fluoro grease in little tubes for about $15 to $20.

Does this (Window switch problem) concern the JDM version VITZ or just the EU / USA markets?
