U.S. Closes Investigation, Finds No Defect in Toyota Corolla's Electronic Steering
Reuters news service reported today that federal auto safety regulators have "quietly closed" an investigation of complaints about steering involving model-year 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corollas.
Citing National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) documents, Reuters said the investigation found "no electronic-related steering defects that would compromise safety."
Reuters said the nearly 15-month investigation closed on May 4. The investigation also included the Matrix and covered nearly 750,000 vehicles.
The wire service described the finding as a significant boost for the company as it seeks to regain consumer trust after questions were raised about electronics in Toyota vehicles, pointing out that it comes three months after NHTSA and NASA found "no electronic-based cause for unintended high-speed acceleration in Toyotas."
