Just seen this, at least it is not a Skoda problem and not in Europe.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp and General Motors Corp are recalling more than 662,000 vehicles sold in the United States due to defects in power windows, the two companies said on Wednesday.

Toyota will recall 539,500 Corolla and Matrix vehicles for the 2003 and 2004 model years, it said in a statement.

GM said it would recall 122,598 Pontiac Vibe hatchbacks, which share the same platform with Toyota's Matrix and are built by GM in a joint venture with the Japanese automaker.

On vehicles equipped with power windows, the driver and front passenger glass bolts may loosen and cause the door glass to separate from the window regulator, Toyota said. Vehicles equipped with manual windows are not subject to the recall.

Toyota will notify vehicle owners by mail, beginning in late April. It advised owners to contact their local Toyota dealer for inspection and repairs.

Replacement of the driver and front passenger door glass bolts will be done at no charge, Toyota said.

Wow, thats probably going to cost a bit!

though Probably not as bad as when Mercedes had to retrofit ESP to a load of A Classes:eek:

Hmm so Toyota recall the windows dropping where as VAG get away with charging to go from plastic clips that drop the glass to metal ones.

Toyota has a more 'intelligent' attitude

Nice to see them taking such a keen interest in such a simple thing,

I wonder if VAG were so quick to recall vehicles for ABS underbonnet fires:rolleyes:

It's a pity Vauxhall didn't recall all the late-model Cavaliers and most of the first Vectras to replace the scabby Ecotec lump with a better engine...

Edit for clarification: When I say 'better' I actually mean 'more reliable' and not having engine sensors made of liquorice and string and a badly designed breather system causing rev-up's then cut-outs because the idle control valve is gummed up again.

at least its nothing dangerous
