Toyota Recalls 533,000 Tundra and Sequoia Vehicles

How would you like to lose a wheel at 70 mph? It might happen if you’re driving a dangerous Toyota lemon vehicle.

After repeatedly denying consumer complaints, Toyota is now recalling 533,000 trucks and Suv vehicles because of suspected steering and suspension problems caused by bad ball joints. Failing suspension ball joints are suspected in at least 11 accidents, some causing injuries.

A ball joint in the front suspension can wear out or fail without sufficient warning to avoid an accident. If it happens to you, steering can be difficult or impossible. If that occurs, you can be injured in a sudden and serious accident. The tire can even buckle and fold under the vehicle.

What is a ball joint?

A ball joint is a flexible coupling in a vehicle's suspension that connects the control arm to the steering knuckle. It’s a critical part of the vehicle’s steering system and is called a ball joint because of its ball-and-socket construction. Some are designed to never require grease while others should be lubricated every six months. As the joint wears over time, it becomes loose. If it’s to loose, your wheel falls off!
