This filing is one of 6 Toyota notifications from 1996 in this archive. For scale, 191 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 1 month.
Defect
A plastic rod inside the shift lever assembly of certain automatic transmission vehicles has insufficient strength and may fracture. If the rod fractures, the transmission may shift without the brake pedal being depressed. In the worst case, the key interlock system linked to the shift mechanism may fail to operate correctly, preventing the ignition key from being removed and disabling the steering lock.
Corrective action
Replace the plastic rod on all vehicles with a corrected metal rod and replace the associated components.
