Special Service Campaign for 90-95 4Runners, 89-95 Trucks and 93-98 T100s

I was reading an article just released about Ford recalling 3.8 million trucks, and came across this tidbit:

Quote:
Toyota Motor Co., meanwhile, recalled 978,000 sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks amid concerns over the power steering system. The affected vehicles include 4Runner SUVs, compact pickups and T-100 pickups built between 1989 and 1998.

Toyota said a rod linking the steering wheel and the wheels may fracture under conditions where the steering wheel is turned while the vehicle is stopped. Owners will be notified beginning in mid-September, the company said.
This is the first I've heard about this recall.
Anyone else have any more info?

(This seems to be different from the ball joint recall for later models a few months ago)
