Brand	TOYOTA
Model	AVALON
Model Year	2011
File date	03/07/17
Component	STEERING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Steering column position lock lever continues to disengage. The lever, over time, works it's way down until it releases the "set" position of the steering column. This causes the steering column to move out of it's set position while driving which could cause a dangerous situation. This has occurred many times since i have owned this vehicle. I think there was a recall on other year models of the toyota avalon but i do not understand why 2011 was excluded.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
