| Defect Summary | On sport utility vehicles, there is a breather hose that attaches to the nozzle of the on-board refueling vapor recovery (orvr) valve, which is located on the topside of the fuel tank. the breather hose is attached with a clamp, whose tabs face in the upward direction. when the vehicle was crashed under the new car assessment program (ncap) test (i.e., 35 mph frontal barrier crash), the clamp tabs contacted the underside of the body due to movement of the fuel tank, causing the nozzle to break. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | In the worst case, nozzle breakage could result in fuel leakage if the vehicle rolls-over after a high speed frontal crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will rotate the specified clamp. owner notification began september 23, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. | |||||||||||||||
