WASHINGTON (AP) — Toyota Motor Corp. said yesterday it was recalling 533,000 Tundra pick-up trucks and Sequoia sport utility vehicles because of potential steering problems.Toyota said the recall involved 2004-2006 Tundra trucks and 2004-2007 Sequoia full-size SUVs. The automaker has received reports of 11 accidents and six injuries connected to the recall, said Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong.

The automaker said there was a possibility of excessive wear to a front suspension lower ball joint that could make it difficult to steer the vehicle and stay in the centre of the lane. Drivers may also notice more noise coming from the front suspension, Kwong said.
