Here is a copy of the article that I saw, didn't see any of the Lexus in there. My wife has a Highlander, so I am going to take that in to check the VIN this weekend.

Unlikely that a popped-out window could potentially cause a fire, and it's not a safety issue. It's just a minor inconvenience (tongue in cheek) and AFAIK only on 2007 ES350s.
I would be willing to bet that those "defective" switches were poorly constructed by a US manufacturer. The ES is still made in Japan.
Most recalls in the US are for safety issues.

That part was probably sourced from China and they did not manufacture the part to Lexus specifications (in order to meet their lowest bid to Lexus). Happens all the time in the kitchen cabinet / furniture world. You get their copy, the sample looks good and meets specification. The actual part arrives and it is at the lowest tolerance level / measurement of the specification.

The part that the media is failing to mention is, Of the 200 issues ALL were with people spraying liquid type lubricant into the switch assy, which the liquid is what WILL cause the short not due to Toyotas part failing.
Toyota who doesnt like to fight back, Has stated they will add grease to any switch that may need it.
