NHTSA recall 10V176000
Electronic Stability Control (Esc), Traction Control System · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The center position of the steering angle sensor (sas) may not be stored correctly due to improper logic of the skid control ECU programming. The vehicle stability control (vsc) system could activate at low speed for a few seconds during acceleration from a stopped position.
Why it matters: Should this occur, the vehicle may not accelerate as quickly as the driver expects, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners and dealers will reflash the ECU. If the reflash cannot be completed on a particular vehicle, the ECU will be replaced with a new one. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on June 11, 2010.
