APRIL 2008 --
Toyota is recalling 662,178 MY 2003-2004
Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Pontiac Vibe
vehicles equipped with power windows. The
driver and front passenger door glass bolts
may loosen and come off, causing the door
glass to separate from the window regulator.
Due to the components becoming loose and
possibly rattling, an abnormal noise may be
heard from the driver and/or front passenger
door when operating the power windows. The
door glass may separate from the window
regulator, bind and shatter during operation
of the power windows, causing driver
distraction and/or injury. Dealers will
replace the driver and front passenger door
glass bolts with newly designed bolts free
of charge. The recall is expected to begin
during May 2008. Owners may contact Toyota
at 1-888-270-9371. This recall was the
subject of an Engineering Analysis,
EA08-004, conducted by the Office of Defects
Investigation. 08V162

NEWS:
Toyota and GM recall 662,000 cars in U.S.
DETROIT
(Reuters) - April 10, 2008 - Toyota Motor
Corp and General Motors Corp are recalling
more than 662,000 vehicles sold in the
United States due to defects in power
windows, the two companies said on
Wednesday.
Toyota will recall 539,500 Corolla and
Matrix vehicles for the 2003 and 2004 model
years, it said in a statement.
GM said it would recall 122,598 Pontiac Vibe
hatchbacks, which share the same platform
with Toyota's Matrix and are built by GM in
a joint venture with the Japanese automaker.
On vehicles equipped with power windows, the
driver and front passenger glass bolts may
loosen and cause the door glass to separate
from the window regulator, Toyota said.
Vehicles equipped with manual windows are
not subject to the recall.
Toyota will notify vehicle owners by mail,
beginning in late April. It advised owners
to contact their local Toyota dealer for
inspection and repairs.
Replacement of the driver and front
passenger door glass bolts will be done at
no charge, Toyota said.
