Toyota is recalling 978,000 pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles sold in the U.S. because a steering relay rod on the vehicles may fracture, causing a loss of control.
Toyota vehicles affected by its recall are from the 1989-1996 model years and include power-steering equipped 4Runner sport utility vehicles and compact pickups and T-100 pickups, Toyota said.
Toyota said no accidents or injuries had been reported due to the potentially faulty steering component.
