Toyota will recall 373,000 of its 2000 to 2004 model year Avalons in the U.S. because the steering lock bar in these vehicles could break under some
conditions, it said in a statement.
The automaker also is recalling 4,200 of those Avalons in Canada, Toyota Canada said.
Toyota will recall 39,000 LX470 SUVs from the 2003 to 2007 model years in the U.S. and 520 in Canada to eliminate the risk of steering shaft
disengagement, the world's biggest automaker said.
Toyota said that it would take about two hours to replace the steering column bracket for the vehicles. It did not estimate the cost of the repair.
With average labor costs of about $85 per hour in the United States, the U.S. part of the recall could cost about $70 million plus parts.
