2009-2010 Toyota Corolla False Recall Alert

The NHTSA didn't find anything wrong with 2009-2010 Toyota Corolla steering systems--which has been on ongoing investigation for nearly 15 months now.


Last February, the NHTSA warned that Toyota Corolla steering systems had nearly 170 complaints. Customers were claiming that their steering was off so much that they had trouble staying in their lane while driving. The NHTSA concluded that, "The alleged defect is driver-related 'preference' for a less sensitive on-center steering feel."

When it was all over with there were about 920 complaints and 4,000 warranty claims that related to user steering errors. Toyota had already put into action a "technical service bulletin" during June, 2010, that explained to dealership mechanics how to fix cars that were being recalled. During these fixes mechanics would replace the entire electronic steering system with one that kept the car more in-line.

Overall, Toyota still never found anything wrong with the Toyota Corolla's steering.
