Details

What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, a part of the fuel tank may become damaged when crashed in the insurance institute for highway safety's (iihs) 40 mph frontal offset crash test conditions, due to the severe impact forces generated.

Why it matters: If the fuel tank becomes damaged and fuel leakage occurs, a fire may result in the presence of an ignition source.

The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank. Owner notification began August 1, 2003. Owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
