Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling 8,057 of its 2023-2024 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid vehicles. The recall is due to cracks that may have developed in the steering intermediate shaft assembly during the manufacturing process, which can cause the shaft to fracture and detach from the steering column. Dealers will replace the affected intermediate steering shaft with a new one free of charge.
A steering shaft that fractures and detaches can cause an immediate loss of steering control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. While no specific injuries are mentioned, the mechanical failure of a primary steering component is a severe safety hazard.
Free replacement of the steering intermediate shaft assembly.
