TOYOTA RECALLS 7.4MILLION VEHICLES

Toyota has recalled about 7.4 million vehicles worldwide to fix power window switches that can stick, smoke and potentially cause a fire. Toyota made the announcement on Wednesday, 10th October, 2012 after several complaints of smoking, overheating or small fires from the window switches, but no report of major injuries from the problem. This is the largest recall by any automaker since 1996.

The recall  involves inspecting and if necessary replacing the driver's side power window switch because the combination of wear that causes the switches to get sticky over time and the grease applied to the switches when they are built can combine to cause overheating.
