Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia.

This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Remedy: Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

Recent complaints
I own a 2010 Toyota Camry, and the dash in my car is outrageous and ridiculous. You can not lay anything down on my dash because if you do it's not coming off. It's so sticky, that not only does it create a glare and interfere with your visability, any bug that gets in your vehicle sticks to it and makes the car look really bad and there is no cleaning it because if you try your dash will pill off. So it's impossible to clean. Not only does the sun affect it but driving at night with other vehicles lights shining on the windshield also makes it hard to see. I believe the NHTSA should do something about this, it could cause vehicles to crash or cause injury or possible death. It should be fixed before it has a chance to cause any injuries or deaths. This has obviously been a complaint about certain models of camrys for quite some time now.
The dashboard on my 2010 Toyota Camry has deteriorated and developed an extremely shiny, sticky, wet-looking surface. During normal daytime driving, sunlight reflects off the deteriorated dashboard and onto the windshield, creating significant glare that interferes with the driver's view of the roadway. The condition occurs routinely when driving in sunlight and is a visibility and safety concern, not merely a cosmetic issue. Toyota previously established a Customer Support Program for sticky/melting dashboards on affected vehicles. The vehicle was purchased new by my father and remained in our family, but he was unaware of the program while coverage was available. The vehicle is now being passed to my son. On September 30, 2026, I contacted Toyota regarding the condition. Toyota opened a customer case but advised that the prior coverage period had expired and declined assistance. My concern is that the deterioration of the dashboard creates substantial windshield reflection that can impair driver visibility. I am requesting that NHTSA document and evaluate this condition as a potential motor-vehicle safety defect.
