NHTSA recall 05V389000
Steering · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, if the steering wheel is repeatedly turned under certain conditions where high steering effort and power assist are required, for instance, when fully turning the wheel while the vehicle is stopped, a fatigue crack may develop in the steering relay rod.
Why it matters: If the vehicle is continued to be operated in this condition, the relay rod may fracture, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the steering relay rod. The recall began October 5, 2005.
