Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.","mfr_campaign":"SRC XC8/XC9 / SRC RC8/RC9 / SRC RD1/RD2","units":55683,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["AVALON"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2021723"},{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2015038","date":"2015-01-28","manufacturer":null,"component":"Electrical","summary":"On certain vehicles equipped with a trunk-mounted sub-woofer, cargo in the trunk could contact the sub-woofer's soft braided wire, which could cause the wire to move out of its normal position.  If one of these wires were to come into contact with the metal frame of the sub-woofer, it could result in an intermittent short, causing the integrated circuit (IC) in the audio amplifier to become damaged.  In some cases, the damaged IC could create a closed circuit between the power supply and sub-woofer, and electric current could continue to flow to the sub-woofer.  If this were to occur, the sub-woofer could overheat, increasing the risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the audio system amplifier and install a protective cover around the subwoofer.  In the interim, dealers will disconnect the rear sub-woofer.","mfr_campaign":"SRC R02","units":1285,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["AVALON"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2015038"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"15V047000","date":"2015-01-28","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing","component":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Toyota Avalon vehicles manufactured February 9, 2010, to October 22, 2012.
