If the driver then returns the steering wheel very fast, this could lead to a steering wheel off-centre condition even though the driving wheels would be straight. The potential problem occurs at low speed when manoeuvring the steering wheel to full lock position. VGRS is a feature that enables easier handling during low-speed driving and provides better stability during high-speed driving than conventional steering by changing the gear ratio. But once again the firm has moved quickly to act and reassure customers. The recall is another blow to Toyota (who own Lexus) following the furore surrounding potential probems with accelerator pedals on certain models. However, only around 40 cars in the UK are thought to be affected and no other Lexus models are affected by this issue. The exact number of cars involved is still being determined, but early indications are that 11,500 could be involved worldwide. The models affected are those fitted with the Variable Gear Ratio Steering (or VGRS for short) but Lexus is keen to highlight that no accidents have been reported relating to this issue.
