I took my scion into a dealership for 2 recall notice repairs (driver's seat railing and intake manifold assembly) and mentioned the window control panel problem and my concern as to whether or not there was a risk of a fire. The service tech said that my car was not part of the recall? I am concerned as to whether or not my car is going to catch on fire and am curious to know if this has been an ongoing problem with the newer model scion xds? *Tr

(Visibility: power window devices and controls recall date: 10/10/2012 does not include this particular vin) was then contacted scion recall same day and they started a fire case for investigation, 3 days later case manager letting me know that to complete their investigation of the causes could take up to a month? They wanted to hold my car at the dealer until investigation is completed, without an estimate of completion date and they offered no loaner car or rental reimbursement? Why nhtsa campaign number: 12v491000 -- affected -- toyota scion xd 2008-2009 -- then why this vin with the same defective was not part of the recall? *Tr
