This time, the issue on hand is a faulty power window switch in 14 different models, which may malfunction and offer a “notchy” or sticky feel during operation. The use of a commercial lubricant, instead of the special fluorine grease used by the factory, may result in the melting of the switch and the emission of smoke.

The estate model will be called Auris Tourer, or in some markets such as Germany, Auris Combi. This is the first time that Toyota has offered a station wagon body style to the Auris range.
It will launch together with the hatchback model with which it will share its entire engine range including, a 1.4-liter turbo diesel, 1.33-liter and 1.6-litre petrols and in a first for a C-segment estate model, a hybrid powertrain.
The latter uses the same setup as the Prius combining a 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle four cylinder gasoline to an electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride battery.

For a second time in a week and after two television spots from Japan starring Stav Strashko, a 19-year old male model with feminine characteristics who was born in the Ukraine and raised in Israel, Toyota's new Auris is featured in another clip with a transgender person.
This time, it's Avu-chan, a 19-year old trans woman of African-American and Japanese descent who is the lead singer of Ziyoou-vachi (“Queen Bee”), a gender-bending teenage glamrock band from Japan.
The video is named "DAS × AURIS BUTTOCKS DRIVE!!" and it was made for the "Daikanyama Art Street" (DAS) art and music festival held from August 20 to 26 in Daikanyama, Tokyo.

Toyota's commercial for the new generation of the Auris, which itself will make its first public appearance at next month's Paris Motor Show in both regular and Hybrid forms, stars an unnamed transgender fashion model from Israel.
The 19-year old male model with feminine traits poses around the five-door hatchback and at the same time we see a tagline saying, "NOT IN TREND, NOT CASUAL, NOT FOR EVERYONE, NOT AUTHORITY, BUT AURIS".
As Toyota's bestselling nameplate in Europe, the new Auris will make its world premiere at the upcoming Paris Motor Show at the end of September in both regular and hybrid trims.
The first thing Toyota tried to address with the new Auris is its predecessor's bland looks with a sharper and more distinctive styling that borrows the new “face” of the brand as seen on the Prius and the Yaris models. Whether or not it succeeded is something we'll let you decide and tell us in the comments section below.
According to the Japanese brand, the 2013 Auris has the distinction of sitting lower than any other mainstream C-segment model. It's also worth mentioning that its overall height is 55mm (2.2 inches) less than the outgoing model while it sports a lower front end design, both of which help it achieve a Cd0.28 drag coefficient.
Over the past few weeks, a fresh batch of scanned images sourced from the brochure of the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Toyota Auris hatchback has surfaced online showing the available trim levels and even a proposed aero package.
With the exception of the Toyota logo and exterior trim, the European model will not differ in styling from its Japanese counterpart seen in these pictures.
We have also learned that the JDM model will break cover in mid-August and will be offered with an initial choice of two gasoline engines, including a 1.5-liter unit producing 102Hp (103PS) in 4WD models and 106hp (108PS) in FWD flavor, and a 1.8-liter that generates 142hp (144PS) in FWD models and 141hp (143PS) in the AWD variants.
