Toyota () Landcruiser: Loss Of Steering Control

Toyota Landcruiser Steering Recall Summary Toyota is recalling 353 Landcruiser vehicles in the United Kingdom because a component that holds the steering shaft in place can come loose after severe front-wheel impacts. If this happens and the steering is turned to full lock repeatedly, the steering shaft may eventually disconnect, causing loss of steering control. Dealers will inspect the steering shaft and replace the fixing component with a new design, and replace the shaft itself if it's damaged.
