A warning light would then illuminate on the dashboard along with a short audible warning whilst manual steering would be maintained.<\/p>\n<p>To rectify this condition, the power steering electronic control unit and wire harness will be replaced in all impacted vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota Australia expects that parts will arrive at dealerships from late next month. A letter will then be sent by registered mail to all impacted owners to request that they make an appointment at their preferred Toyota dealer.<\/p>\n<p>The repair work will take just over an hour and will be carried out free of charge.<\/p>\n<p>There have been 62 reports in Australia with no accidents or injuries reported as a result of this condition.<\/p>\n<fb:like \n\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.fastmotoring.com\/index.php\/2016\/08\/toyota-86-vehicle-to-be-recalled\/\" \n\t\tlayout=\"button_count\" \n\t\tshow_faces=\"true\" \n\t\twidth=\"450\" \n\t\theight=\"30\"\n\t\taction=\"like\" \n\t\tcolorscheme=\"light\" \n\t\tstyle=\"margin-top:5px;\"\n\t\tclass=\"fb_edge_widget_with_comment fb_iframe_widget\"><\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toyota Australia has announced that it will recall almost 15,000 Toyota 86 vehicles built between April 2012 and March 2015 due to a potential loss of power steering assist.\u00a0The recall impacts right-hand drive vehicles that are equipped with driver&#8217;s knee airbags.
