Just over 65,000 Toyota units – of which the bestselling Camry totals 35,647 units – sold in the UAE will come under the latest recall programannounced by the Japanese carmaker for a faulty power window switch defect.
These units – which also includes the Corolla, Yaris, RAV 4 and Sequoia – were sold between February 2006 and May 2010.
“Following communication with Toyota Motor Corporation, we have begun a customer service campaign on the Power Master Window Switch on some vehicles in the Toyota range,” said Simon Frith, managing director at Al Futtaim Motors and the dealership for Toyota.
The purpose will be to inspect the sliding electrical contact module in the driver’s side Power Window Master Switch.
If customers had applied commercially available lubricants to address any sticky feeling of the switch, it is possible that the switch could melt, according to a statement issued by the dealership.
