STEERING
What Happened
The steering lock bar in your Avalon is a small metal piece that helps lock your steering wheel when you shut off the engine. Sometimes, this part can develop a tiny crack that spreads over time, making it break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the steering lock bar breaks, your steering wheel will lock, and you won't be able to control your vehicle. This could cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will replace the faulty steering interlock device with a new one, free of charge. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
