Here’s more recall news for today – Toyota has announced a recall of approximately two million vehicles in the United States and around 300,000 vehicles in Australia over an issue with the power window master switch, which could present a fire risk.
The problem concerns a potentially insufficient amount of grease applied to the master switches during production, which can cause a short circuit in certain conditions. The switch assembly could then overheat and melt – in a worst-case scenario, the melting assembly could produce smoke and lead to a fire.
Vehicles involved in the US include certain models of the Toyota Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Matrix, RAV4, Sequoia, Tundra and Yaris, as well as the Scion xB and xD, built between 2006 and 2011. Meanwhile, those in Australia include the Aurion, Camry, Corolla, Kluger, RAV4 and Yaris produced between August 2005 and August 2006 and January 2009 and December 2010.
Affected owners will be notified via mail, and Toyota dealers will inspect the switch and apply heat-resistant grease; it will also replace the internal circuit board if the switch is not functioning normally.
The recall is an expansion of the one conducted in October 2012 affecting some 7.43 million vehicles worldwide – including 62,083 units in Malaysia – and those involved in the previous recall will not be subjected to this one.
Over here, UMW Toyota Motor has informed us that cars sold in Malaysia are likely affected by the recall, but has not confirmed exact models or the number of vehicles involved. An official announcement will be made as soon as the information have been finalised.

You and your Toyota can go bungkus…kutuk other brand…skarang sendiri kena. At least Kimchi car and P1 car improving. Don’t brag about your Lexus. U can brag if u ride helicopter or personal jet.
Tu bukan toyota, proton je :-P
Sebenarnye itu keta Proton, tapi pemandu lekat T badge kat depan. Tu lah sebab toyota ada power window problem.
#bersangkaanbaik
No wonder i saw a lot of Toyotas open door scan touch n go
Better use the traditional winding window. No complaints. Durable. To battery still can operate. So more durable & reliable. Thus higher rv.
Toyota???power window problem? Huahahahahahah muahahahahhaaaaa
Aku mimpi ke??? Hahahahaha kakakakakaka
Aik. I thought Sam Loo sayz Toyota no power window problem, only looser cars like Proton has it? So toyota now is oso junk and Sammie boy better sell underwear?
Haizzz got Power Window problem like Protong..how to sell my Toyota cars now :(
Nah, Toyota got power window issue. Shoot lah!!! Dun be quiet, rubbishman!
Hahaha….toyolta pun ada problem power window ker….puiiiiiii
Thanks Paultan.org for this informations. This is important for those owners to prevent bad incident happens.
Sam Loo ” Are you sure it is Toyota? Only Proton have this power window issue meh. Check it again. You get the news from whatsapp don’t you? Still RV RV RV.”
Toyota have got power window problems? Impossible!! Toyota have the best quality control in the world!!
Only P1 got quality problems!
at least they admitted the poblem BEFORE being exposed etc..tis gives consumers more confidence to buy Toyoda…unlike some brands never bother to rekol power window poblem instead insulted us wit “lifetime warranty” which is only for 10 yeara
You mean they learnt to prevent another shit hitting the fan after Takatagate and SelfAcceleratingPedalgate? No shit sherlock.
At least P1 admitted their mistake and redesigned their PW and give owners lifetime warranty. Will your god company give lifetime warranty on airbags?
Toyota born in 1937 means its 78 years old and yet the 78 years old toyota still doing the small mistakes … anyone out there would like to say anything about the quality of the 32 years old proton ?
Toyota better kolos shop
honda pun recall kes takata airbag..
bang, apahal tiba2 cerita pasal honda, takata airbag kat sini… org duk cerita pasal power window toyota.. x payah nak cover cover la… tu la, selama ni jgn suka sangat mengata org… kan dah kena batang hidung sendiri…lol
Proton (or perhaps Perodua) power window issues – worst case it’s not functioning as it should be and driver need to open door to pay tolls. But it’s replaceable (one whole set of master switch area cost roughly RM100 – RM200 for local Proton and Perodua cars)
Toyotaik power window issues – just a master switch problem can create a fire risk. In US and Australia, it warrants immediate recall. But in Malaysia, they only say likely affected, but in the end, who knows, they proudly say all Toyotaik cars in Malaysia not affected at all (you die is your own business as their obscene profit is much more important than everything else, this bloodsucker UMW Toyotaik have zero respect even to their loyal hardcore customers)
Now those Toyotaik salesperson and hardcore fans that like to look down and badmouth other cars can lick their own faeces and spits.
