2004 TOYOTA AVALON Recalls (3)

Campaign:
10V345000 on 07/28/2010
Component:
Steering
Manufactured:
04/27/1999 - 12/19/2004
Affected:
372,593
Defect:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2000-2004 avalon vehicles. due to improper casting of the steering lock bar, there is a possibility that a minute crack may develop on the surface of the lock bar. such a crack may expand over a long period of repeated lock and unlock operations, and eventually the lock bar could break.
Consequence:
Should the steering lock bar break, the steering wheel would lock and the driver would lose the ability to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the steering interlock device free of charge. the safety recall began on september 7, 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes:
Toyota safety recall no. aoh.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
Campaign:
11V539000 on 11/08/2011
Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Manufactured:
05/31/2004 - 12/19/2004
Affected:
420,326
Defect:
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.
Consequence:
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.
Correction:
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will check the crankshaft pulley to identify whether it was produced by the u.s. supplier. if so, the dealer will replace the pulley with a new one at no charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during early january 2012. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
Campaign:

Component:
Air bags:frontal
Manufactured:
06/04/2002 - 12/19/2004
Affected:
1,006,849
Defect:

Consequence:
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags or the seat belt pretensioners increases the risk of an injury or crash.
Correction:
Toyota will notify their owners. pontiac vibe owners will be notified by gm. dealers will replace the air bag control module, free of charge. the recall began on august 24, 2015. toyota owners may contact toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. gm issued an interim notification to owners on march 27, 2015. the recall began on august 24, 2015. pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668. note: this recall supersedes recalls 13v-029 and 14v-147. vehicles that had a noise filter installed as the remedy for one of those campaigns need to have the air bag control module replaced under this campaign.
Notes:
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
