Toyota is recalling certain vehicles because of possible problems with the driver's side power window.

This is a voluntary recall by Toyota and it affects 2.5 million cars, including these...

• 2007 to 2008 Yaris (approx. 110,300)
• 2007 to 2009 RAV4 (approx. 336,400)
• 2007 to 2009 Tundra (approx. 337,100)
• 2007 to 2009 Camry (approx. 938,100)
• 2007 to 2009 Camry Hybrid (approx. 116,800)
• 2008 to 2009 Scion xD (approx. 34,400)
• 2008 to 2009 Scion xB (approx. 77,500)
• 2008 to 2009 Sequoia (approx. 38,500)
• 2008 Highlander (approx. 135,400)
• 2008 Highlander Hybrid (approx. 23,200)
• 2009 Corolla (approx. 270,900)
• 2009 Matrix (approx. 53,800)

They say the power window controller may have a sticky feel when you're using it; that's because of "uneven grease application" at the supplier, followed by frequent use.  You should NOT (let your husband?) use stuff like WD-40 to fix that stickiness, it could cause the switch to melt or catch fire.

If you have one of the cars listed above, you should get notification late this month.
