Corolla models with manufacturing defect recalled by Toyota.

Toyota has recently announced a recall for several models of their popular Corolla due to a possible manufacturing defect that could result in a loss of steering control. This recall affects more than 1270 vehicles, including the 2023 and 2024 Corolla Cross, Corolla Cross Hybrid, and Corolla Sedan Hybrid.
There are various variants of the affected models, such as the Corolla Cross Hybrid, Corolla Cross Petrol, and Corolla Sedan Hybrid. It is important to note that this recall has been issued as a precautionary measure and is not currently linked to any accidents or injuries.
Upon investigation, the car company has discovered that there may be cracks in the upper universal joint of the steering intermediate shaft assembly. These cracks can potentially widen over time due to repeated stress and could result in a loss of steering control while driving.
Naturally, this poses a safety concern for both the occupants of the vehicle and other road users. Toyota has released a statement urging owners of affected vehicles to take action as soon as possible in order to avoid any potential accidents or injuries.
If you own one of the affected models, you can check the Department of Transport Website for a list of affected VINs. Toyota will also be reaching out to owners directly to schedule an appointment for a free replacement of the steering intermediate shaft.
To find a local dealer, you can visit the Toyota website or call the Toyota Recall Assist helpline for more information. As always, it is important to stay informed about any potential recalls and take action promptly for the safety of yourself and others on the road.
