STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2008-2022 Sequoia and 2007-2021 Tundra vehicles. The power steering gear assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in an oil leak.
- What it can cause
- An oil leak may cause a sudden loss of power steering assist, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the power steering gear assembly as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 21, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 21TB10 and 21TA10.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 22,462 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 84% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2007 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 14 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the steering 16 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V373000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 27 of the 29 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,088 complaints with NHTSA, 1,659 of them before this campaign was filed. 113 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2007, 14 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 21V688000 (exterior lighting), 20V682000 (fuel system, gasoline), 20V410000 (exterior lighting), 20V012000 (fuel system, gasoline).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
