NHTSA recall 14V604000
Suspension · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, one of the leaf springs may fracture due to stress or corrosion. While being driven, the broken leaf could move out of position and contact surrounding components including the fuel tank, possibly puncturing the tank and causing a fuel leak.
Why it matters: If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners and dealers will install new rear leaf spring assemblies. The recall began on January 29, 2016.
