Make(s):
LEXUS, TOYOTA
Model(s):

Year(s):
2004, 2005
Manufacturer:
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.
NHTSA ID:
04V595000
Recall Date:
December 15th, 2004
Units Affected:
150,061

Affected Component: Seat belts:front:buckle assembly.

Summary: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a front passenger power seat, when installing certain rear-facing infant child seat bases onto the seat with an excessively high seatbelt tension, it may be possible to unseat a component called the buckle status switch from the seat belt buckle. .

Conequence: If the switch becomes unseated, the front passenger occupant classification system may mistake the rear-facing child restraint for an unbelted adult occupant, and may not suppress the deployment of the front passenger airbag. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace the front passenger seatbelt buckle status switch. This safety improvement campaign (ssc 40m) began on december 20, 2004. Owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or lexus at 1-800-255-3987. . .

Notes: This action is deemed a safety improvement campaign and is not being conducted under the safety act. .

NHTSA ID:
11V539000
Recall Date:
November 9th, 2011
Units Affected:
420,326

Affected Component: Engine and engine cooling.

Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2004 avalon vehicles; 2004 and 2005 camry, camry solara, highlander, and sienna vehicles, 2006 highlander hybrid; 2004 and 2005 lexus es330 and rx330; and 2006 lexus rx400h vehicles manufactured from june 1, 2004 through march 31, 2005, equipped with the 1mz-fe or 3mz-fe engine. The amount of adhesive agent applied between the outer ring and the torsional rubber damper (inner ring) in the crankshaft pulley may be inadequate. If the adhesive is insufficient, there is a possibility that the outer ring may become misaligned and it may not properly rotate with the inner ring, causing noise and/or illumination of the battery discharge indicator light. .

Conequence: In some cases, the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley which could result in a loss of power steering and a sudden increase in steering effort, increasing the risk of a crash. .
