Toyota Canada is recalling 16 Yaris hatchbacks from 2012 due to a steering problem.
A relay within the electric power steering control module could short circuit and fail. The sudden loss of steering power assist would trigger a warning lamp to illuminate and a buzzer to sound. A Yaris experiencing a loss of steering power assist would revert to a manual steering mode, which would require greater driver effort, especially at low vehicle speeds, and potentially result in a crash.
Toyota dealers will therefore replace the electric power steering control module with an updated version.
