Geoff Peace 8 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 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?Regards Geoff Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.Regards Geoff Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
