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.

I was told the same thing by the dealer about them not recalling it because it's not a safety issue but that is where they are wrong. I was driving my daughter to a Dr. appointment and my window was fogging up. I got real nervous about it. While the cold defrost kept it off, it was in the low 30's that night when we headed back. We where frozen when we got back.
It could really cause a serious problem if the whole thing went out.
I checked my middle knob and it is very wobbly, and I have never really noticed this before I was told to check it out. Now I am more convinced than ever that this is my problem.
