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.

DURING AUG 2016 I WENT TO GET SOME LUNCH AND WHEN I TURNED OFF THE PARKING RAMP THE CAR WAS FINE. ONCE I ENTERED ON TO THE FWY AND APPROACHED THE SPEED OF 50 MY STEERING WHEEL FROZE AND WOULD NOT TURN EITHER WAY. I COULD NOT SLOW DOWN ON THE FWY FOR FEAR OF BEING HIT, SO I JUST STAYED IN MY LANE AND BEGIN TO EXIT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET BECAUSE I COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL ONCE I CAME TO A STOP I HAD HELP GETTING THE CAR TO MY HOUSE AND CALLED AAA TO TOW THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP BY MY JOB AND FOUND OUT THE POWER STEERING UNIT JUST STOPPED. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE RACKNPENION. THE LIGHT WHERE YOU SHIFT GEARS WENT OUT, SO CAN'T SEE AT NIGHT WHAT GEAR I'M IN. DRIVE OR REVERSE.
