Toyota is recalling certain model-year 2021-2022 Sequoia and 2021 Tundra vehicles due to a possible oil leak. The power steering gear assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which could cause an oil leak and a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on January 22, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To remedy the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the power steering gear assembly, as necessary.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
