What's wrong, in plain English

The power steering gear in these Toyota Tundra and Sequoia vehicles may have been manufactured incorrectly. This manufacturing problem can cause the steering gear to develop an oil leak. If enough oil leaks out, the power assist that normally makes the steering wheel easier to turn can suddenly stop working, which makes the vehicle much harder to steer while you are driving it.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer, or call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, to have the steering gear inspected.
3. Any necessary repair will be done free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V920000.
