Steering, electric power assist systemMar 13, 2015
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2015 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid, and 2014-2015 Rav4 vehicles. A component of the electric power steering (EPS) electronic control unit (ECU) may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. Over time, this damage may result in failure of the electric power steering system.
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the serial number of the EPS ECU or steering column assembly. If the number is within the affected range, the EPS ECU will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on May 7, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

AT 10 A.M. ON A BRIGHT SUNNY MORNING, MY WIFE AND GROWN DAUGHTER GOT INTO MY CAR TO GO TO BREAKFAST, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR, AND TURNED ON THE AIR CONDITIONER. THE AIR WAS HOT, NOT COOL, I LOOKED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE DASH AND THERE WAS A YELLOW WARNING LITE THAT READ "CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM " . I PUT THE GEAR LEVER INTO "D" AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE BUT THE ENGINE REVED UP, I THEN PUT IT INTO "R" AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED, THE CAR ENGINE REVED UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN TURNED THE ENGINE OFF, THEN STARTED IT UP AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT STARTED NORMALLY WITH A/C PUTTING OUT COLD AIR AND THE AUTO MOVING WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS IN GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED A QUALITY INSPECTION AND COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ASK ME TO REPORT BACK TO THEM SHOULD IT HAPPEN AGAIN, WITH THE TIME, TEMPERATURE, RAIN OR CLOUDY DAY , ECT.. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 6 DAYS AND SO FAR IT HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN.
