NHTSA recall 03V074000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, the fuel tank check valve, located in the fuel tank inlet pipe, may become separated from the inlet pipe and fall into the fuel tank. If the check valve falls into the tank, fuel may spill from the fuel inlet pipe when the fuel pump automatically shuts off during fueling.
Why it matters: This condition may result a fire in the presence of an ignition source.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, repair the fuel tank check valve. Owner notification began April 4, 2003.
