977,839 vehicles recalled

1993 TOYOTA T100 -- On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, if the steering wheel is repeatedly turned under certain conditions where high steering effort and power assist are required, for instance, when fully turning the wheel while the vehicle is stopped, a fatigue crack may develop in the steering relay rod.

If the vehicle is continued to be operated in this condition, the relay rod may fracture, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the steering relay rod. The recall began October 5, 2005. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #05V389000 »
