Toyota has recalled 6.5 million cars worldwide to replace the faulty power window switch. The manufacturers said that the recalled cars were manufactured in Japan between January 2005 and August 2006, and between August 2008 and June 2010. It also includes cars being recalled which were manufactured outside Japan between August 2005 and August 2006, and between January 2009 and December 2010.
Around 2.7 million cars from North America, 1.2 million cars from Europe and 60,000 cars from Japan were recalled. Japan's auto giant said that the power window master switch may have not been lubricated consistently during the manufacturing process. Debris may accumulate due to insufficient grease and can eventually lead to short circuit and cause fire hazard.
The models that are recalled are Matrix, Highlander, RAV4, Camry, Tundra, Sequoia and Scion XB. Toyota dealers will inspect the switch and apply heat resistant grease and also replace the internal circuit board if the switch isn't working properly.
