TOYOTA IS MAKING ME CLAIM THE DAMAGE THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE OUT FOR THIS BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE ONE. THEY JUST STARTED GOING OUT IN DECEMBER. THIS WILL PAY FOR BODY DAMAGE, BUT WHAT ABOUT LOST RESALE VALUE, LOST WORK TIME ETC.?
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES BUILT IN JAPAN. THE STEERING WHEEL SET NUT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENTLY TIGHTENED CAUSING STEERING VIBRATION AND LOOSENESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE NUT CAN EVENTUALLY COME OFF ALLOWING THE STEERING WHEEL TO SEPARATE FROM THE STEERING SHAFT, LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL RETIGHTEN THE STEERING SET NUT.
