TOYOTA announced a problem with the Land Cruiser 100 (Amazon) affecting a total of 348 vehicles.
If the vehicle is subject to unusually severe impacts to the front wheel, it is possible that the fixing component on the steering shaft can become disengaged. If this occurs and the steering is repeatedly placed on full lock, it is possible that over time the steering shaft could become disconnected, so resulting in loss of directional control. Vehicles built from 7/31/2002 to 9/26/2006 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall affected vehicles to check shaft and relace fixing component with a new design. If the shaft is found to be damaged, this will be relaced also.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest TOYOTA dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
