APPROXIMATELY ONE AND 1/2 MONTHS AGO (MAYBE LONGER?), THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR STARTING TO MAKE A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I MOVED IT UP (CLOSED) AND DOWN (OPEN). TONIGHT, IT WOULD NOT STAY UP AND WAS BLOCKING MY VIEW. I COULD NOT MOVE IT TO THE SIDE TO GET IT OUT MY LINE OF SIGHT. I HAD TO HOLD IT UP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME IN ORDER TO SEE THE ROAD SAFELY. I ENDED UP REMOVING IT COMPLETELY WHEN I GOT HOME IN ORDER TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE ROAD, WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NOW I HAVE NO SUN VISOR. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CA, DRIVE EAST IN MORNING & WEST IN THE EVENING. I HAVE TO REPLACE/REPAIR THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I CALLED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO TAKE IT BACK. THEY BASICALLY GLUED IT BACK. THIS HAPPENED ANOTHER 2 TIMES BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T A DEFECT. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE TEXAS HEAT. THE COVER IS SUPER GLUED ON BUT WHEN I GO THRU A ROUGH ROAD THE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF. FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS STAYED ON PERMANENTLY.

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.

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.
Jan 16, 2013
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.
