Recalls

USA Recall: In this condition, one or both bolts could become loose during driving and fall out. if both bolts fall out from the front lower ball joint or the front suspension lower arm, these components could detach from the steering knuckle or the front cross members, causing a loss of steering control, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Toyota motor engineering & manufacturing (toyota) is recalling certain model year 2014 fj cruiser vehicles equipped with an optional "trail teams ultimate edition" package, in which the front shock absorbers and springs were replaced at vehicle processing centers. in some of these vehicles the bolts which secure the front lower ball joint to the steering knuckle and/or the front suspension lower arm to the front cross member assemblies might have been tightened with insufficient torque when the front shock absorbers and springs were replaced during the installation process.

Corrective Action:
Toyota will notify owners of vehicles with the optional package installed, and dealers will inspect the torque of the bolts. if the bolts are found to be loose, dealers will retighten them to the proper torque. for any missing bolts, dealers will install new ones. the recall began on november 7, 2014. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
