STEERING
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Corolla and Corolla Hybrid vehicles. Due to cracks developed during the manufacturing process, the steering intermediate shaft assembly may fracture and possibly result in the shaft detaching from the steering column.
- What it can cause
- A steering shaft that detaches can result in a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the intermediate steering shaft, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 24TB13/24TA13.
- 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 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 8,057 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the steering 18 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V480000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 134 complaints with NHTSA, 60 of them before this campaign was filed. 27 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 December 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V040000 (steering), 24V708000 (service brakes, electric), 24V548000 (equipment), 23V480000 (steering).
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.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on November 21, 2024 as campaign 24V878000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
