| I have a 1988 toyota landcruiser. there is a special service campaign (m01) nhtsa campaign #91v110000 that directs the dealer to replace the original gas tank with one with a new and improved design. i spoke to my dealer about this and they reffered me to servco pacific which is the toyota distributor for my area. i spoke with a man named fred kitajima whom is the customer service manager for servco. he told me that a check of my vin number (jt3fj62g0j0083164) showed that the replacement had already been done on 05/29/1992, and that i was not eligible for any further service. he went on to say that servco puts a ten - year cap on sscs, so even if the fuel tank had not been replaced, they would not do it anyway. my vehicle has a very strong odor of fuel in the cab, so i took it to the dealer to track down the source of the smell. the technician said that i have a faulty vapor control valve which they are going to replace. i asked the technician what the part number was on the fuel tank that is now on my vehicle and he gave me the following #: 7701-60221. i checked ssc m01 and it reads that the fuel tank is supposed to be replaced with part #: 04001-02160. i feel that my fuel tank has not been replaced as stated by servco pacific and that they, servco pacific, is either negligent or mistaken. *ak | |||

| On a few occasions (4-8 times), the gas pedal has gotten stuck, in such a way, that the vehicle actually accelerated. it has happened from a complete stop going up to 20-25 mph, and while on the fwy, driving approx. 65 mph. the first time, while driving from complete stop to about 20-25 mph, my wife noticed the vehicle accelerating, she turned into a smaller street, then forced the shifter into park, and pulled up the e-brake. all other times, we simply tap, or pump, the accelerator pedal for it to get 'unstuck'. *tr | |||
