14572-13401-71 Toyota Brush, Power Steering Motor | 6FB/5FB

Overview

The Toyota 14572-13401-71 BRUSH, POWER STEERING MOTOR is a precision carbon brush set for the electric power steering motor used on Toyota counterbalance forklifts. These brushes carry current to the motor armature, and as they wear down, steering can become heavy, jerky, or intermittent. Fitting a fresh 14572-13401-71 brush set restores smooth, low-effort steering and helps protect the motor from arcing damage. If your 6FB or 5FB truck shows reduced steering assist at low speeds or unusual sparking from the steering motor, a worn brush is one of the most common causes.

Compatibility

This power steering motor brush is specified for Toyota electric counterbalance forklifts in two model families:

• Toyota 20-6FB10/14/15/18 – the 20-6FB series of electric trucks
• Toyota 30-5FB10/14/15/18 – the 30-5FB series of electric trucks

Whether you are searching for the 14572-13401-71 for 20-6FB10 machines or a matching brush for the 30-5FB series, this reference covers those trucks. Before ordering, confirm the number against your forklift’s data plate or parts manual, or simply send us your model and serial number and our team will verify fitment for you.

Quality and Reliability

Carbon brushes are small components with a big impact on steering performance. This Toyota brush is made to the correct dimensions, lead length, and spring pressure for the power steering motors fitted to the 6FB and 5FB series, giving consistent contact with the commutator and stable current flow. Good brush geometry helps minimize sparking and uneven wear, supporting longer motor life and dependable steering assist through long shifts. As with all parts we supply, the focus is on accurate fitment and consistent quality for daily warehouse and industrial operation.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Always disconnect the battery and follow your Toyota service manual before working on the steering motor.
• Remove the brush holder caps, note the orientation of the brushes and leads, and release the old brushes carefully.
• Inspect the commutator while the brushes are out; clean away carbon dust and address scoring or excessive wear.
• Install the complete brush set, make sure the springs seat squarely and the leads are secure, then test steering function before returning the truck to service.
• Check brush length during scheduled maintenance and replace the set before it reaches minimum length to avoid a sudden loss of steering assist.
