I HAVE TOYOTA CAMRY 2011. THE SUN VISOR HAS FALLEN. I HAVE NO SUN VISOR AND I SEE IT AS A SAFETY HAZARD. CALLED TOYOTA CA DELEAR- CAPITOL EXPRESSWAY IN SAN JOSE, THEY SAID THAT IT IS COVERED AFTER CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER. WENT THERE AND WASTED 2 HOURS TO BE TOLD THAT IS IS NOT COVERED. CALLED TOYOTA EXPERIENCE ( OR BAD EXPERIENCE) LINE AND THEY OPENED A CASE (1609170669) AND SAID IS IS NOT COVERED. I SEE THAT TOYOTA PRODUCT QUALITY AND SERVICE QUALITY BOTH HAVE GONE DOWN. IT IS BETTER TO BUY OTHER GOOD BRANDS AND AVOID TOYOTA.

HOWEVER ONE DAY WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED USING IT, IT FELL DOWN AND WOULDNT GO BACK UP INTO POSITION TO USE IT OR TO STORE IT AWAY. IT WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION AND WITH THE SUN FACING ME FACE THAT TOO WAS BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VISION. I ALMOST REAR ENDED ANOTHER CAR BUT LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS BUT MY VIN IS OUT OF THE RANGE OF THE ONES SUPPOSEDLY AFFECTED.

Remedy: SET will notify owners, and dealers will disconnect the heaters with copper strand heating elements and refund the purchase price of the seat heater accessory, free of charge. The recall is expected to began in January 2015. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226.

The damage could cause the boot to leak lubricant grease which could then cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A loosened ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ball joint, free of charge. The recall began on December 16, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Consequence & remedy

Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation.

Consequence & remedy
