Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 FJ Cruiser vehicles manufactured January 25, 2006 through February 23, 2013 and equipped with a Toyota Auxiliary Driving Lamp Kits mounted to the front bumper. These lamp assemblies include 55 watt bulbs and due to this wattage and mounting angle, the combination of the upper beam headlamps plus the auxiliary lamps are too bright and exceed the maximum light output allowed for an upper beam headlamp. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 55 watt bulbs with 35 watt bulbs, free of charge. The recall began on June 6, 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2013 FJ Cruiser passenger vehicles. The retractors for the front driver and passenger seat belts are mounted in the access door (rear door) panels of the vehicle. Due to insufficient strength of the access door panel, cracks may develop in the panel if the access door is repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time.
Remedy: The safety recall began on June 6, 2013. Toyota will mail an interim letter to owners late in April 2013. Remedy notifications to the owners for the repair will begin in late May 2013. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota Racing Development (TRD) brake kits, P/N PTR09-35070, and TRD High-Performance brake kits, P/N PTR09-35100, installed by Toyota vehicle processing centers and sold by Toyota dealers as an optional accessory for model year 2007 through 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser vehicles. The subject TRD brake kit is specifically designed for the front wheels of 2007-2012 model year FJ Cruiser vehicles. Due to the shape of the outer brake tube of the brake kit, the clearance between the outer brake tube and a TRD 16 inch 6-spoke alloy wheel is minimal. If wheel balance weights are installed in an incorrect location, there is a possibility that the outer brake tube could be damaged due to interference with the balance weight, and brake fluid could leak from the damaged tube.
Remedy: All known owners of 2007-2012 model year FJ Cruiser vehicles will be notified by first class mail. If the vehicle is equipped with one of the TRD brake kits, the brake caliper outer brake tube will be replaced with a newly designed one at no charge. During this service, if necessary, the dealer will make wheel balance adjustments. This remedy will be performed even if the vehicle has original equipment 16 inch or 17 inch wheels or TRD 16 inch Beadlock ring type wheels, which are not affected by the condition, to assure sufficient clearance in the event wheels are changed at a later time. Notification to owners began on December 17, 2012. Owners may contact Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED TO HIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN VEERING TO THE RIGHT DUE TO HIGH WINDS. AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE FLIPPED AND ROLLED OVER MULTIPLE TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT. BOTH THE CONTACT AND HIS PASSENGER WERE INJURED AT THE SCENE AND WERE TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL. BOTH PARTIES WERE TREATED FOR A CONCUSSION AS WELL AS SEVERAL CUTS AND BRUISES ON VARIOUS PARTS OF THEIR BODIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. NO DAMAGES TO THE TRAILER WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AT THE SCENE AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TOW YARD. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,000.
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN THE SNOW IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE MODE WHEN IT STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING AS IF IT HAD A FLAT TIRE. BECAUSE OF THE ROAD CONDITIONS VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. FAILURE WAS CATASTROPHIC AND DID NOT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COAST TOO LONG AS THE VEHICLE JAMMED, AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD BROKEN SEVERAL GEARS AND BINDED. VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ENGULFED IN SMOKE AND FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE. UPON A QUICK INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FRONT SHAFT HAD BROKEN OFF FROM THE TRANSFER CASE, OIL WAS POURING OUT OF THE CASE AND HEAT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE, IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO IT, HAD IGNITED THE OIL INTO FLAMES. MUD AND SNOW WAS USED TO PUT OUT THE FLAMES. UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE TIRES HAD A BLOW OUT, THE REAR DRIVER TIRE. AFTER REPLACING THE FLAT TIRE WITH THE SPARE, AN ATTEMPT TO CARRY ON 2 WHEEL DRIVE MODE WAS MADE BUT RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE RESTART OF THE FLAMES. FLAMES WERE PUT OUT AGAIN USING SAME METHOD AS BEFORE AND VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP UPON CURSORY EVALUATION DECIDED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD "INSUFFICIENT" LUBRICANT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AS THE TRANSFER CASE LOST ITS OIL WHEN THE SHAFT POPPED OUT WITH THE FRONT PINION GEAR CAUSING THE FIRE. THERE IS NO HEAT SHIELD TO PROTECT OIL FROM IGNITING IN THESE VEHICLES. VEHICLE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN TAKEN APART AS TOYOTA IS NOT AUTHORIZING THE WARRANTY REPAIR. ALL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW. *TR
WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE IT IS UNSAFE ON SLIPPERY WEATHER CONDITIONS. DIFFICULT TO CONTROL 3 TIMES I'VE USED THIS CAR ON ICY CONDITIONS GOING NO MORE THAN 35 OR 40 MILES AN HOUR AND I HAVE SLIPPED THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS EASTER AND THE CAR LITERALLY ROLLED OUT OF CONTROL.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY, THURSDAY, 18FEB10, AT AROUND 3:40 P.M. ON THE INTERSECTION OF WESTHEIMER AND BELTWAY 8. I DRIVE A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THERE ARE 2 LIGHTS BEFORE I HAVE TO TURN LEFT ON THE BELTWAY TO HEAD TOWARDS I-10. I STOPPED AT THE FIRST LIGHT ON THE RED LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL CARS AS THERE WAS SOME TRAFFIC. THEN THE LIGHT AHEAD TO TURN LEFT ON THE BELTWAY TURNED GREEN SO ALL OF THE VEHICLES TRAVELED TO THE NEXT LIGHT AND STARTED GOING THRU THE GREEN LIGHT UNTIL IT TURNED YELLOW. THE 1ST CAR AT THE LIGHT STOPPED AND EACH VEHICLE STOPPED BEHIND THEM INCLUDING ME. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT INSTEAD OF MY CAR STOPPING WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES IT FELT LIKE THE BREAKS TRIED TO GRAB BUT THEY DIDN'T GRAB AND MY FJ CRUISER KEPT ON GLIDING UNTIL I HIT THE CAMRY IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAMRY HIT THE LEXUS IN FRONT OF HER AND THE LEXUS HIT A BUICK IN FRONT OF HER. IT WAS VERY SCARY AS I EXPECTED MY BRAKES TO BRAKE WHEN I HIT THEM BUT INSTEAD IT FELT LIKE MY BRAKES TRIED TO BRAKE BUT THEY COULDN'T. THE COPS CAME AND GAVE ME A TICKET FOR "FAILURE TO CONTROL SPEED" EVEN THOUGH I WAS ONLY GOING VERY SLOW SINCE THERE WAS SO MUCH TRAFFIC BUT IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE I HIT THE CAR FROM BEHIND. THE FJ, THE LEXUS AND THE BUICK WERE MINIMALLY DAMAGED BUT THE CAMRY IN FRONT OF ME HAD THE BACK-END SMASHED IN. THE POLICE CAME AND TOOK OUR INFORMATION AND THEY CHECKED OUT THE OWNER OF THE CAMRY BECAUSE HER NECK HURT. I REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO MY ALLSTATE INSURANCE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY BRAKE PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THAT IN THE PAST THE ONLY THING I HAD NOTICED WAS MY CAR HAD PROBLEMS IN 2 INSTANCES WHEN I WAS GOING OVER BUMPS. IT FELT LIKE THE BRAKES HAD TROUBLE GRABBING. *TR I TOOK MY CAR INTO A ALLSTATE AUTHORIZED DEALER CLOSE BY "DON MCGILL TOYOTA" TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED BUT MOST OF ALL TO HAVE MY BREAKS CHECKED. I WON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY FJ CRUISER ANY MORE UNTIL THE DEALER CAN SURE ME THAT THE BREAK PROBLEM IS FIXED! I AM SO SCARED!
DRIVER'S SEAT BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. A BOLT SNAPPED OFF UNDER THE SEAT FOR THE MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS THE UP AND DOWN HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. THE SEAT WAS IN THE HIGHEST POSITION POSSIBLE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND AS A RESULT, THE SEAT DROPPED ABOUT 7-8 INCHES TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING A BACK INJURY FOR ME. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE DRIVER'S SEAT GEOMETRY WAS OFF SO SIGNIFICANTLY THAT THE BACKREST WAS RECLINED TOO FAR AND I COULDN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD OR REACH THE PEDALS. I AM DISABLED AND IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I WAS' IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPAIR THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY VEHICLE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP NEVER INFORMED ME OF IT, EVEN THOUGH I HAD COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THE SEAT LOSING ITS HEIGHT SETTING. NOW TOYOTA WILL NOT REPAIR THE SEAT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND IT HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT. THE SEAT MECHANISMS BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SECTION O CITY STREET IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA AT ABOUT 12 MPH. I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES AT A TIME WITH THE BROKEN SEAT BECAUSE IT IS TOO PAINFUL FOR MY BACK INJURY.
I REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND I WAS GOING 30MPH APPROX AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CAR ENGINE AREA AND BATTERY CAUGHT ON FIRE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING AND GAUGES BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE ERRATICALLY AS THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE AND GAUGES WOULD NOT PROVIDE A READING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY, WIRING HARNESS, ALTERNATOR AND THE FUSE BOX WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.

I LEASE A TOYOTA 2007 FJ CRUISER WHICH CAUGHT ON FIRE. FIRE WAS TO STEERING COLUMN AREA. 911 WAS CALLED /POLICE AND FIRE RESPONDED. THE FIRE WAS VISIBLE FROM THE BLINKER ARM HOLE. FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BY MYSELF. TOYOTA TIL THIS DAY HAS NOT TOLD ME THE CAUSE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SINCE. I DON'T WANT THE CAR. TOYOTA HAS BEEN CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. YET NO ONE GIVES ME AN ANSWER. I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANY TOYOTA OWNER. A GUY NAMED TROY OFFERED ME A $1000.00 DOLLARS TO BE ON MY MERRY WAY. I DON'T WANT IT. ESPECIALLY AFTER THEIR COVERUP. *TR

THE DRIVER FOOT REST (DEAD PEDAL) ON THIS CAR BRAKES LOOSE EASILY AND BECOMES A LOOSE OBJECT UNDER AND AROUND THE DRIVER FOOT PEDALS. I HAD MIND COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL I ATTEMPED TO STOP MY CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAUSE THE BROKEN FOOT REST HAD LODGED IT'S SELF UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL AFTER BRAKING LOOSE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO SWERVE AROUND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, BEFORE STOPPING WITH THE E-BRAKE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! *TR
THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT, I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING PRIOR, AND I TRIED TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE AND BRING IT TO A STOP. I GOT IT TO BE ABOUT 40 MPH BEFORE I HIT THE CEMENT RAILING ON THE BRIDGE.
