2002 TOYOTA AVALON Recall
- Campaign:
- 10V345000 on 07/28/2010
- Component:
- Steering
- Manufactured:
- 04/27/1999 - 12/19/2004
- Affected:
- 372,593
- Defect:
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2000-2004 avalon vehicles. due to improper casting of the steering lock bar, there is a possibility that a minute crack may develop on the surface of the lock bar. such a crack may expand over a long period of repeated lock and unlock operations, and eventually the lock bar could break.
- Consequence:
- Should the steering lock bar break, the steering wheel would lock and the driver would lose the ability to steer the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the steering interlock device free of charge. the safety recall began on september 7, 2010. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
- Notes:
- Toyota safety recall no. aoh.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
