  Issue: this recall is for certain block heater kits installed on certain vehicles or sold as accessories at toyota or lexus dealerships. On certain vehicles, the engine block heater cable may not have enough heat protection and could be damaged by high temperatures. If this happens, the cable could short circuit while plugged in, and cause the wiring to overheat or melt. Note: this recall only affects the following block heater/cord part numbers: C014003034 pk5a408j09 pU14000904 C014003151 pk5a408j13 pU14000905 C014000885 pk5a489j11 pU14000907 C014000888 pk5a489j22 pU14000909 C014000907 pk5a410h00 pU14000911 C014100904 pU14000900 pU14000913 C014100907 pU14000901 pU14003571 C014100911 pU14000902 pk5a408j05 pU14000903 safety risk: engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire.

• Recall 2018015 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag assembly. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected. Matrix model vehicles may have had the original front passenger airbag inflator replaced as a “like-for-like” replacement under a previous recall as a temporary remedy while evaluating a permanent remedy. These vehicles will receive the permanent remedy passenger airbag assembly under this recall.

• Recall 2016103 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: this recall supersedes recalls 2013113, 2014224, 2015197 and 2015269. Correction: all vehicles having not received a replacement inflator as part of the previous recall will now have a replacement inflator installed by dealers. For matrix model vehicles, dealers may replace the front passenger airbag assembly with one equipped with a newly specified inflator.

• Recall 2014560 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, a defect in the supplemental restraint system could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbag(s) and/or seatbelt pretensioner(s). Unintended seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could startle the driver, which could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. In some instances, inadvertent deployment could cause minor injuries to vehicle occupants. Correction: dealers will replace the airbag control module and may install an in-line jumper wiring harness to correct the issue. Note: this recall supersedes recalls 2013032 and 2014097. Vehicles that were repaired under the previous campaign and did not receive a new airbag control module will also need to be repaired under this campaign.

• Recall 2008122 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, the regulator bolts - which attach the front side window glass to the power window regulator - may become loose, causing a loud noise to be generated when the window is raised or lowered. If the window is continuously operated in this condition, the bolts may eventually separate, causing the glass to become misaligned, and in the worst case, allowing the glass to completely shatter. Correction: dealers will replace the flange bolts

• Side front power window shatters investigation # EA08004

  For the subject vehicles, there is a possibility that the retention force of the regulator bolts which attach the front side window glass to the power window regulator may not be sufficient due to an interference of the retention nut and the bolt shoulder radius.In this condition the bolt may become loose, causing a loud noise to be generated when the window is raised or lowered.If the vehicle and the power window are continuously operated in this condition, the bolt may completely separate, causing the glass to become misaligned, and in the worse case, the glass may shatter during operation of the power window.General motors corporation (gm) and toyota north america, inc.

Takata recall - while driving on a highway, there was a slow up, and i braked, but stopped right at the rear bumper of the car in front of me. However, another car was coming behind me and couldn't stop, or didn't notice that traffice had stopped. He pushed me into the car in front of me. At that moment, which was not a severe front end hit, i saw fire, an explosion, and the airbag blew out the entire dash on the passenger side, and flew to the back seat behind the driver's side. Also, the driver's side airbag deployed. Metal was flying out of the passenger side airbag in the front. We could not believe the damage that resulted from such a somewhat minor accident. Additionally, the car was totaled which has been a strain on us! Now, about 30 days after the accident, we just received a card in the mail telling us of the recall. We had no idea there is an ongoing problem with airbag recalls! Today, i checked online for this problem, and found many sites describing the issues. However, my car is not even on the recall list!!! I was in the car alone and was affected by the accident, however, i dread to think what would have occurred if i had a passenger with me. I am including some pictures.

Takata recall not addressed by the manufacturer in a timely manner. Recall number: 08v162 from 2008, recall status is incomplete. Leading to power windows completely immovable. Manufacturer failed to remedy these recalls in a timely manner.

Tl* the contact owned a 2004 toyota matrix. While driving 3 mph, the vehicle accelerated rapidly without warning and caused a crash. The contact crashed into another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. It was unknown if the vehicle was towed because the contact could not remember. Motter auto repair of oakland, california was made aware of the crash and repaired the front passenger side of the vehicle and the passenger door. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. In addition, the failure recurred on two separate occasions. While driving 2 mph, the vehicle accelerated rapidly without warning again. There was no crash and the contact was able to regain control of the vehicle. Also, while driving 2 mph, the vehicle accelerated rapidly without warning and crashed into the contact's garage door. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained injuries to the left leg and left hand, which required medical attention. The vehicle was not damaged. The failure mileage was 70,000. The vin was not available.

I have been trying to get a recall 15v043 done since jan/feb this year and i keep calling the dealer and getting told they have never been sent the parts ever. I also have the air bag recall 15v285 and this is the second time ive called them regarding this recall as well. Wtf do they never get parts now? Whats really annoying is i keep getting letters in the mail regarding recalls and this last one says "why haven't we heard from you?" even though ive called multiple times.

Takata recall. I was told by a local portland, or toyota dealer that the replacement parts for the takata inflator recall are back-ordered for an indefinite 6-12 month period and warned that it could possibly take even longer. Toyota corporate customer service confirmed that timeline by speaking with a different portland, or toyota dealer. Toyota further informed me that i cannot have a passenger in the front seat until the takata inflator has been replaced. Toyota has been very upfront and helpful in attempting to resolve this issue, which is commendable, but i'm filing this vehicle safety complaint because 6-12 months for a safety recall repair does not qualify for being done in a "timely manner" and not being able to have a passenger in the front seat for up to a year will be very difficult and problematic. To be clear, the passenger airbag in my vehicle has not deployed.

I was backing down my driveway when my car suddenly accelerated-the brakes and steering also went out-i crashed into a bank on one side of the road, then the car swung around and i ended up suspended over a ditch. I was finally able to switch gears and turn the car off
