| Description of the problem | Toyota issued a nation-wide extended warranty coverage in 2015 for its melting dashboards caused by manufacturing defect, 2004-2010 sienna, 2007-2011 camry, 2004-2008 solara, 2005-2010 avalon, 2003-2005 4runner, total of 3. 42 million vehicles affected. The extended warranty lasted for two years until 2017 and some cars have developed the symptoms slower than others particularly for those with less mileage and/or less exposure to sun. Now the melting dashboards are creating serious driving hazard when driving into sun because the reflection is blocking the driver's view. Therefore, it calls for a recall since driving hazards do not have expiration dates. |
