Shanghai, August 24 (Gasgoo.com) Toyota Motor will start tomorrow to recall 688,314 Camry and other sedans made at its two joint ventures in China to fix the vehicles' faulty electronic window control systems, media reported, citing the country's quality watchdog.

Electronic controls on the driver's side window may short-circuit because an excessive amount of lubricant was applied during the manufacturing process, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said in a statement on its Web site.

The excess lubricant may cause overheating and melting. In rare instances, the flaw may cause the interior door panel to melt. The faulty parts originated from one supplier, the quality supervisor said.
