There is a possibility of an accident due to lose of control of vehicle. On certain Avensis vehicles with 1.6 and 1.8l petrol engine manufactured in United Kingdom, and Corolla and Prius vehicles manufactured in Japan, which are all equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering [EMPS], there might be a possibility that connections may become lost due to insufficient strength at the intermediate shaft and sliding yoke, which connect the steering wheel to the steering gearbox assembly. This might happen during conditions such as when the steering wheel is turned repeatedly strongly to the full lock position (max. steering angle), right or left, or where the tires repeatedly strongly hit the curb when manoeuvring. | Voluntary measures: Voluntary corrective actions taken by the importer. |

Due to their insufficient hardness, the splines which connect the intermediate extension shaft of the steering system to the steering gear box may deform, develop increased backlash and eventually wear out, which could result in a loss of steering ability. This might happen if the steering wheel is frequently and forcefully turned to the full-lock position while driving at slow speed. | Voluntary measures: Recall of the product from end users |

The electrically-driven water pump which circulates coolant through the hybrid components, including the inverter assembly, may fail causing activation of the warning lights on the instrument panel of the PRIUS or a reduction in the motive power mode in the FCHV vehicles. In certain cases, a fuse may blow in the electric power supply circuit, causing the hybrid system to stop while the vehicle is being driven, which could lead to an accident. | Voluntary measures: Recall of the product from end users |
