Apparently the issue is to do with a component in the steering that causes a rattling or a knocking sound, and maybe even a reduction in the response when steering. AlthoughToyota maintain that even though this may be a slight issue cars will still remain safe to drive.

If you’re worried that your car may be recalled the best thing to do is to contact your local Toyota dealership.
