Toyota says the problem concerns the cars’ Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) systems, a feature designed to help drivers “maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions,” according to the automaker’s website. Toyota says the VSC systems of the recalled vehicles may be experiencing an “error” that prevents the feature from automatically enabling in certain situations.

The voluntary recall notice, issued Wednesday, names 10 different models of Toyota and Lexus vehicles: Toyota Venza, Mirai, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Sienna HV and Highlander HV models, and Lexus LS500h, LX600, NX350h and NX450h+ models.

Akio Toyoda is 3rd generation Toyota leadership and spends too much time at the race track.

Stick with getting from point A to point B without headaches, with a little bling here and there.

These look like crossovers and SUVs only. My Avalon is okay, as are the Corollas and Camrys.

The Steering wheel is defective??

I like to avoid potholes and drive around them without the steering wheel fighting me to get back between the lines.

Did I miss the model years affected?
