Toyota recalls 6.5 million vehicles for window switch defect

Post by Nasmfell »

2009-2010 Vibe may be affected with this new recall on the power window switch, since the Matrix and Corolla is involved.

I read: Vehicles produced between 1/05 - 12/10

Includes Corolla, Camry, Matrix, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra and Sequoia. Looks like most Vibes are going to be on that list, since Matrix/Vibe was produced on the same NUMMI line.

I'm sure that our local dealership will have zero info available for a while. Will check with them and see what they say.

Scion is there too, so it has affected NA models and Japanese made Scions.

I remember having recall work done on both our Vibes back in 2013 for the driver's power window switch. I wonder if this is the same thing, similar or completely different...

Looked into the recall a little more... and now includes only 2009 - 2011 years of Matrix. So first Gen Vibe probably not in the mix this time. Stay tuned, the story might change in the next few minutes. Usually takes a while for manufacturers to get all the data out and then it takes those that reprint the recall information a while to get their own misprints corrected!

I just checked NHTSA to see if our Vibes are included in this latest recall. 2009 and 2010 Vibes are on the list. Below is the page...

If necessary, click on "All products associated with this recall."
