Feds Probe Door Fires in 2007 Toyotas

Window switch may be to blame for Camry, RAV4 fires


PhotoWhat would cause the driver's side door of a 2007 Toyota to burst into flame?

Good question.  Federal safety regulators think the power window switch may be to blame and they're opened a preliminary investigation that, if the problem is confirmed, could lead to a recall of 830,000 Camry and RAV4 vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a filing this week that it has received six consumer complaints about the problem.

Toyota said it is waiting for more information from NHTSA before responding.

"Toyota received the Preliminary Evaluation Opening Resume for the 2007 RAV4 and Camry on February 7. However, we have not received an information request from the NHTSA. Toyota will fully cooperate with the agency in its efforts to investigate these allegations," the company said in an email statement.
