Sumitomo, is the subcontractor who makes this Faulty Heater control for Toyota.Poor designed for sure. But they still make them for Toyota unchanged in this fashion.
Never will be recalled. Toyota is too busy making large profits to address this Vehicles Flaws. It's a money maker for Toyota Dealers and Toyota when they are off warranty!!!!!!!!!!!
I say it is a safety issue because it part of the defroster controls. A required Vehicle equipment.
But that's just me talking.
