NHTSA recall 10V218000
Steering · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: A programming change of the steering control ECU for the variable gear ratio steering (vgrs) system can cause improper activation of the steering system protection logic designed to protect the system when larger than normal steering inputs are applied at a fully turned position.
Why it matters: Improper activation of the steering system protection logic can cause the steering wheel to become off-centered up to 90 degrees. This may occur after the driver has fully turned the steering wheel in one direction then quickly attempts to turn it back to the center position. Should this occur…
The fix: Toyota will notify owners and Lexus dealers will replace the steering control ECU free of charge. The safety recall began on July 12, 2010.
