What NHTSA recorded

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2003 sequoia passenger vehicles manufactured from april 1, 2002 through april 17, 2003. The center position of the steering angle sensor (sas) may not be stored correctly due to improper logic of the skid control ecu programming. The vehicle stability control (vsc) system could activate at low speed for a few seconds during acceleration from a stopped position.

Possible consequence

Should this occur, the vehicle may not accelerate as quickly as the driver expects, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Toyota will notify owners and dealers will reflash the ecu. If the reflash cannot be completed on a particular vehicle, the ecu will be replaced with a new one. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on june 11, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
