A piece of this fell across the fresh / recycle air control and stopped it from latching into position (I had to open up the dash to fix it, at least that was all it was).
I wasn't going to do anything about this stuff myself and just harvest the bits that fall off, but if you wanted to stop it, you could:-
A) Reach under your dash and tear off the loose bits where you can.
or
B) Go to the trouble of removing your floor covering and the offending deadener, then replace with generic deadener from car part suppliers.
Anyway don't stress, just make sure no bits can foul anything around your foot well or under dash, if in doubt tear it out.

I can move it all the way to the right for fresh air but only about 3/4 to the left to recirculate and it won't engage

I have a 2013 Hilux same issue has just be repaired under warranty. Something to keep in mind is that all cars must have a reasonable warranty period usually 5 years under consumer law, I suggest doing some research and get to know your rights.

Happened to ours also, 2013 model. Out of warranty. Dealer reckons Toyota will provide the replacement
firewall insulation but we have to pay for the labour, $900 to $1000. Anyone have any joy getting it done
for less with the vehicle out of warranty?
