Corolla Power Steering Recall.

[Passedit]

Just heard on the news that it we will be subject to a recall to fix the( power?) steering. I wonder what the problem is.

This and the other two, must be costing Mr T a fortune.

I was in my local Mr T this afternoon trying to get a replacement red TOYOTA Badge as the paint is peeling on mine, and some guy came in asking about the power steering recall on the corolla, and they told him, it only affects left hand drive cars/American corollas

As for the Badge, they dont do the red ones anymore, just the silver ones so it looks like im going to have to paint mine. Anyone tell me which will be the best paint to use? Im thinking something like hammerite!

"Rumour control:here are the facts" (bonus points for anyone who can name the movie and the actor)

Toyota is aware of customer complaints from owners of Corolla models in the USA.

This vehicle, 2009/2010 Corolla sedan is not sold in the UK.

The Corolla model sold in the UK up to 2007 is a different car.

The media reporting appears to have followed a misunderstanding of what Mr. Sasaki (TMC EVP) said at the press conference yesterday in response to a question from AP reporter.

The question related to customer complaints about 2009/2010 Corolla sold in the USA.

Mr Sasaki's answer was:

1) Toyota recognise there are complaints and

2) we take every customer complaint seriously and judge each one at its own merits.

3) At this stage, for this specific issue, we have not been contacted by NHTSA.

Some media in attendance misunderstood that Toyota is studying recall. This is not the case.

The latest information that we have regarding this matter is that Automotive News (a USA based specialist Automotive publication) published the following story on Feb 9:

"NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) fielding complaints about 2009-10 Toyota Corolla steering. - Agency may open probe after reports of unintended veering"

The following comment has been made by Toyota in the USA:

Toyota has not received any 'resume' (official letter) from NHTSA regarding a possible issue with Toyota Corolla steering. In any case, Toyota will provide its full cooperation to any investigations deemed necessary.

We will of course keep you updated in this regard.
