What are the defects?
Due to a durability issue, the front lower suspension arm may develop cracks and corrode when exposed to road snow melting agents. This could cause the suspension to collapse and detach from the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of steering control.
What are the hazards?
A loss of steering control could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Toyota in writing, and are asked to make an appointment to have the front lower suspension arm replaced, free of charge.
