Toyota is recalling 688,314 Chinese-made sedans for faulty electronic window control systems. The switches were damaged due to excessive lubricant applied during manufacturing. This can cause overheating and melting in rare cases. According to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, the excessive lubrication problem has been traced to a single supplier. The Camry was the worst affected by the defect, with 384,000 recalls. The Corolla comes in second with 245,000 units affected, followed by 35,000 Vios and 22,000 Yaris models involved in the recall. A Toyota China spokesman has stated that no accidents have occurred as a result of the defect. [via autoblog]
