Doesn't look like it impacts North America or left hand drive Europe.

"The recall impacts right-hand drive vehicles that are equipped with driver’s knee airbags."


Don't panic guys these are very specific cars.

@Boomerang also pretty sure that would have nothing to do with whether or not our cars also have driver knee airbags.

Just saying;

"The recall impacts right-hand drive vehicles that are equipped with driver’s knee airbags."

Way back in yore when I first started here (all of 2 years ago) there was a guy in Australia that actually had his steering lock up while driving at speed. We threw a bunch of theories at it (as we tend to do) but a bad harness was not one of them. Now we have the answer.

If I get really ambitious I will try to find it and see if anybody wins the 'Guess The Issue Before Toyota Knows' prize.

And the winner is... @chaoskaze for the rather vague statement "electrical problem of some sort". Everybody else comes in second place for trying to be too specific.


Gonna give myself a shout out as well for my highly prophetic "Even if they find something it may not apply to us since it is right hand drive."
