In more modern vehicles, it can also cause a fault with the steering angle sensor (a sensor sat behind the steering wheel that measures the angle of the front wheels through the angle of the steering wheel).
Similarly, most production car rear wheels are designed with some amount of toe-in. The practical effect of this setting is that your wheels are always driving a little bit towards the centre of the car.
This gives your car a nice stable feeling on the road, but it also means you have increased the rolling resistance of your tyres. Toe-in also means you have to turn the steering wheel farther to get both front tyres pointed into a turn, and the inside tyre won’t ever be pointed as far into the turn as the outside tyre.
