Pontiac power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the visibility power window devices and controls. Here is what owners need to know.
The power window master switch assemblies in some of these vehicles were built using a less precise process for lubricating the internal components of the switch assemblies. Irregularities in this lubrication process may cause the power window master switch assemblies to malfunction and overheat.
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
Toyota will notify its owners, and dealers will inspect the switch and apply a special grease that inhibits heat build up or replace any switch damaged by the defect, free of charge.
