Toyota Scion Recalls: Faulty Cruise Control
Gulf States Toyota is recalling 1,372 MY 2006-2007 Scion xA and xB passenger vehicles equipped with Rostra Precision Controls' speed controls. These controls were installed by Gulf States Toyota (GST) dealers or at their vehicle processing center. When the speed control "on/off" switch is pressed once to turn the unit off, the throttle does not return to idle. When the "on/off" switch is pressed a second time, the throttle will return to idle. A crash could occur in the event that the cruise control does not allow the engine to return to idle on the first depression of the "on/off" switch. Dealers will inspect and/or replace the speed control module. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign.

Toyota Camry Recall: Air Bag Defect/Failure
Toyota is recalling 160 MY 2007 Camry Solara vehicles equipped with curtain side air bags (CSA). The CSA tether strap located in the front pillars may have been incorrectly routed during the assembly process. If the tether strap is not correctly routed, the front side of the CSA may not deploy as designed, which may result in insufficient occupant protection during a side impact crash or rollover event. Dealers will inspect both CSA front tether straps, and if necessary, reroute them. The recall is expected to begin during early January 2007.
