Toyota Canada has issued a recall on 239,459 vehicles due to a driver's side power window master switch that could stick or become inoperative. If anyone attempted to lubricate the switch, the entire assembly could overheat and melt, producing smoke and potentially leading to a fire.

Affected models include the Camry, Camry Hybrid, RAV4 and Tundra (2007, 2008, 2009), Sequoia (2008, 2009), Yaris (2007, 2008), Highlander and Highlander Hybrid (2008), as well as Corolla and Matrix (2009).

Toyota Canada dealers will inspect the power window master switch and either apply a specialized grease that inhibits heat build-up or replace the power window master switch circuit board, as necessary.

With 7.5 million units affected worldwide, this recall is the largest since Ford recalled 7.9 million vehicles in 1996.
