JULY
2010 -- Toyota is recalling
certain model year 2003-2007 Lexus LX470
vehicles. The construction of the steering
shaft is such that the snap ring on the
shaft may disengage when the vehicle
experiences an unusually severe impact to
the front wheels. If the snap ring becomes
disengaged and the steering wheel is then
repeatedly turned to the locked position,
over time the steering shaft may become
disconnected. This could result in loss of
steering control increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will replace the snap ring
with a newly designed one and install an
additional component which will prevent
separation of the steering shaft. This
service will be performed free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin
during August 2010. . 10V-346
