Steering Fault On New Yaris.

[Geoff Peace 8]

There is a report that Toyota are recalling 135,000 Yaris models built in 2010, 2011, 2012. Due to a fault in the power steering system. The electronic control module can fail causing the steering to be heavy at low speeds. The cure is replacement of the module. Does anyone have any information on this for UK vehicles please?

There is an article about the recall on the TOC index page. 5409 Yaris and Verso S in the UK, made between November 2010 and March 2012, are affected.

Thankyou Lorna2. I looked my car up on the recall checker, it would not accept the registration for some reason but worked from the VIN number. Also telephoned the dealer today, my car is not on the recall list. Thank goodness!. I can only assume that Toyota source these components from a number of suppliers and only one is affected.
