Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Steering (other) as the affected component. This filing is one of 26 Toyota notifications from 2014 in this archive. For scale, 325 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 3 years and 5 months.
Defect
The mounting bracket that secures the steering column to the instrument panel underside has insufficient strength. Repeatedly turning the steering wheel forcefully to full lock can cause the bracket to crack. Continued use allows the crack to propagate and, in the worst case, the steering column may no longer be held securely in place.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the bracket. (1) If no damage is found, install an additional corrected bracket. (2) If damage is found, replace the body component (instrument panel reinforcement) with a corrected part.

状況
ステアリングコラムを車室内（インストルメントパネル下）に取付ける固定用ブラケットの強度が不足しているため、ハンドルを端まで強く一杯に切る操作を繰り返すと亀裂が生じるものがある。そのため、そのまま使用を続けると亀裂が進行し、最悪の場合、ステアリングコラムを固定できなくなるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、当該ブラケットを点検し：①異常がない場合は対策ブラケットを追加する。②損傷している場合には車体部品（インストルメントパネルリインホースメント）を対策品と交換する。
