Toyota Recalls 20,000 Vehicles Due To Possible Fuel Leaks
Toyota says that there have been no reports of fires, crashes, or other terrible things as a result of fuel leaks from these engines.
The core problem is with a fuel delivery pipe in this particular engine: it may or may not be welded correctly and could leak. That depends on which supplier the engine came from, which Toyota technicians can’t determine without inspecting your car. If the engine and its fateful incorrectly welded tube came from the problem supplier, the Toyota dealership will replace it.
Most of the 20,000 affected vehicles are here in the United States, though some were exported to other countries.
