Toyota Recalls 7.43M Cars (Scion xB's 2005-2010)
(AP) – Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 7.43 million vehicles in the US, Japan, Europe, and elsewhere for a faulty power-window switch, the latest quality woe for Japan's top automaker. The recall, announced today, affects more than a dozen models produced from 2005 through 2010. The power-window switch on the driver's side didn't have grease applied evenly during production, causing friction in the switch and sometimes smoke, according to Toyota.
No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the problem, but more than 200 problems were reported in US. Recalled in North America are the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra, Sequoia, and Scion models xB and xD, spanning 2.47 million vehicles. Toyota has been trying to salvage its reputation after a series of massive recalls of 14 million vehicles over several years.

Didn't see this recall for the Xb mk1, but it was there for the Xb mk2 - on the NHTSA web site

If you do a search, look under Toyota as they don't list Scion seperately

Come on now a recall on a spot of grease in a power window switch? How about the ford plastic gas tanks that would explode when you fill them at a gas station from lack of grounding and a static charge build up when filling the tank. Now that's what I call a recall!
