As many as 539,500 Corolla and Matrix vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 models will reportedly be recalled by Toyota. While General Motors (GM) will be recalling 122,598 Pontiac Vibe hatchbacks, which share the same platform with Toyota's Matrix and are a result of a joint venture between the two automakers.
According to Toyota, it is likely that in vehicles equipped with power windows, the driver and front passenger glass bolts may loosen and cause the door glass to get dislodged from the window regulator. The company said that vehicles equipped with manual windows will not be affected by the recall.
Mails will be sent to the vehicle owners by the end of April 2008 informing them about the recall. They will have to contact the local Toyota dealers to get their vehicles inspected and repaired. Further, the company has announced that the driver and front passenger door glass bolts will be replaced free of cost.
