If the steering wheel is repeatedly and strongly turned to the full-lock position, the nuts could loosen, allowing the pinion shaft to become unstable.  This could cause a loss of steering power assist when making a left turn, which may result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace both pinion shaft nuts with improved versions.","mfr_campaign":"SSC 146","units":940,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["PRIUS"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2011212"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"11V304000","date":"2011-06-01","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing","component":"STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM","summary":"TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2001 THROUGH 2003 PRIUS PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM JANUARY 28, 2000, THROUGH MAY 30, 2003.
