Toyota Motor Sales said it would launch a safety recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) involving approximately 539,500 Corolla and Matrix vehicles sold in the US.
On some 2003 and 2004 model year versions with power windows, the driver and front passenger door glass bolts may loosen and come off, causing the door glass to separate from the window regulator. Vehicles with manual windows are not involved.
“If this condition has occurred on the vehicle – in some cases due to the components becoming loose and possibly rattling – an abnormal noise may be heard from the driver and/or front passenger door when operating the power windows,” Toyota said in a statement.
Toyota will notify owners by mail from late April and dealers will carry out free repairs.
