What's wrong, in plain English
Some Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid vehicles may have a steering intermediate shaft that develops cracks during the manufacturing process. Over time, the shaft may fracture and possibly detach from the steering column, so it no longer connects properly. Dealers will replace the intermediate steering shaft to fix this, at no cost to owners. Toyota has already mailed notification letters to owners about this issue.
