Pontiac during the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (pwms), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
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.
During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.
If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found, free of charge.
