SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER
If damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
7 safety recall campaigns, 3 defect investigations, 3,669 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If damaged, the copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.
Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
If the switch overheats, it may melt, possibly resulting in a fire.
A DRIVER MAY OVERLOAD A VEHICLE WHICH MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
Two 2007 TOYOTA CAMRYs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
