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> .

Consequence:
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags or the seat belt pretensioners increases the risk of an injury or crash.
Correction:
