Recall notice on news for 98 & older

[druuu88]

I was watching the news today, 9/7, and they discussed a recall on tons of ford trucks, and toyota trucks. the 4runner was one affected. something to do with the power steering (i think the rod that connects steering wheel to axle??) Anyone know about this yet?? Thanks

Toyota Motor Co., meanwhile, recalled 978,000 sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks amid concerns over the power steering system. The affected vehicles include the 1990-1995 4Runner SUV, 1989-1995 truck 4WD and 1993-1998 T-100 pickup.

Toyota said a rod linking the steering wheel and the wheels may fracture under conditions where the steering wheel is turned while the vehicle is stopped. Owners will be notified beginning in mid-September, the company said.
