Description:
Toyota motor engineering & manufacturing (toyota) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 toyota avalon vehicles manufactured february 9, 2010, to october 22, 2012. in the affected vehicles, the sub-woofer speaker located in the trunk may experience an intermittent electrical short which may cause damage to the integrated circuit (ic) in the audio amplifier. in some cases, the damaged ic may allow a constant electrical current flow to the sub-woofer.
Consequencs:
A constant electrical current flow may cause the sub-woofer to overheat, increasing the risk of fire.
Notes:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will provide a remedy for the audio system, free of charge. until the remedy is available, toyota will mail an interim notice and dealers will disconnect the sub-woofer. toyota issued an interim notification to owners on february 23, 2015. the manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. owners may contact toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371.

Description:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 avalon, avalon hv, venza, camry, and camry hv vehicles. in the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. the accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequencs:
A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. an inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. an inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. the power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Notes:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. the recall began on february 5, 2014. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
