Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 539,500 Corolla and Matrix cars because the bolts in the power window system can become loose and ultimately cause a window to shatter.

Toyota said Wednesday it had received reports of 143 cases in which the bolts at the bottom of the power window assembly became loose, caused the window to rattle or led to the window breaking.

Toyota spokesman Joe Tetherow said there had been one minor accident and 15 injuries reported. He said he did not know how many complaints Toyota had received of windows shattering. The affected vehicles are in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. territories, he said.

The recall involves 2003-2004 model year Corolla and Matrix vehicles equipped with power windows. Vehicles with manual windows are not part of the recall.

Toyota said the condition will cause an "abnormal noise" to occur when the power windows are operated. Toyota will notify owners of involved vehicles in late April.

Part replacement will be done at no cost to the consumers.
