2024 Toyota Corolla recalls

Steering shaft may fracture and detach

Crash risk

Cracks from manufacturing can cause the steering intermediate shaft to break, and the shaft may separate from the steering column. If that happens, the driver can lose steering control and the risk of a crash goes up.

Fix: The dealer will replace the intermediate steering shaft free of charge.

Labels

The load carrying capacity modification label may display inaccurate added weight values. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims." A vehicle with an incorrect maximum capacity weight value may be overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: GST will mail new labels to owners, free of charge.
