2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Toyota is recalling certain 2003 Sequoia passenger vehicles manufactured between April 1, 2002 and April 17, 2003. The vehicle's steering angle sensor center position may not be stored correctly due to improper programming in the skid control engine control unit. This defect could cause the vehicle stability control system to activate at low speed for a few seconds during acceleration from a stopped position, which may prevent the vehicle from accelerating as quickly as the driver expects and increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners about this recall, and dealers will reflash the engine control unit at no charge. If the reflash cannot be completed on a particular vehicle, the engine control unit will be replaced with a new one at no charge. The recall began on June 11, 2010. Affected owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
