PLANO, Texas (Nov. 21, 2024) — Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Corolla vehicles produced from July 2023 to September 2023. Approximately 8,000 vehicles in the U.S. are involved in this recall.

A part of the steering shaft, which allows the steering wheel to control the direction of the front wheels, may have been manufactured with cracks. If the cracks grow over time, this part of the steering shaft can separate and can lead to a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will replace the steering intermediate shaft with a new one, free of charge.

Customers will be notified about this issue through the mail by late January 2025.
