ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS DON'T RESPOND TO REMOTE, OR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL. THE TWO REAR DOORS DO NOT ALLOW THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THESE DOORS ONLY UNLOCK BY USING THE ROCKER BUTTONS. THIS IS DANGEROUS PARTICULARLY FOR CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS AS THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. MY TOYOTA DEALER ADVISES THAT HE HAS NO EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HE OFFERED TO REPLACE THE ACTIVATORS IN EACH DOOR AT COST OF $600, BUT WOUND NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS REPLACEMENT WOULD REMEDIATE THE LOCK PROBLEMS.

TOYOTA HAS ALREADY IMPLEMENTED A CSP ( VTT) COVERING FAILING SUNVISOR HINGES ON CAMRYS FROM 2007-2011. MINE HAS FAILED. AFTER CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER I AM TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS APPROXIMATELY 25000 TOO HIGH ( TRANSLATION WE HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM BEFORE THAT POINT. THEY HAVE NOT. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE DESCRIBED. AS AN ENGINEER I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST TIME THAT A PROBLEM WAS BELIEVED TO BE SOLVED BUT WAS NOT. NO REAL NEED FOR A PHOTO TO DOCUMENT THE CONDITION, THE HINGE THAT PROVIDES SUFFICIENT FRICTION TO INSURE THAT THE VISOR STAYS WHERE YOU PLACED IT HAS BROKEN THE PLASTIC AND NOW FLOPS USELESSLY AROUND. IT WILL NOT STAY IN THE DESIRED POSITION

The affected vehicles may experience compression of the seat cushion which may damage the seat heater wiring.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
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.

In the affected vehicles, the rubber boot on the front suspension lower arm ball joint may have been damaged during manufacturing. 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.
Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 Rav4, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota Venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Prius, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2011 Scion XD, 2011 Scion XB, and 2012 Scion TC vehicles. These vehicles were sold with labels that were outside the allowable one percent of accuracy of actual weight added. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.
