Service bulletin ZTY Avalon Clip

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

In these vehicles, Toyota has received some reports where, after securing the telescopic adjustment lever, the steering column?s telescopic adjustment function may not retain its set adjusted position. Although the Steering Column Telescopic Adjustment Lever Detent Clip is covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is now extending the warranty coverage for replacement of the Telescopic Adjustment Lever Detent Clip to address the problem described in the covered vehicles. Please see the Warranty Enhancement Program Details for additional information.
