THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MODEL YEAR 2012 AND 2013 TOYOTA VENZA. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 13V442000. I BELIEVE 2011 SHOULD BE IN THIS RECALL AS WELL. OUR VEHICLE IS NOT DRAINING CONDENSATION PROPERLY. THERE IS A BAD ODOR COMING OUT OF YOUR AIR CONDITIONER AND I BELIEVE THE SMELL IS FROM THE BUILDUP OF MOISTURE IN AND AROUND THE AIR CONDITIONER. AS THIS IS ALSO MENTIONED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER ABOVE. *TR
