In a move to prioritize customer safety, Toyota has issued a recall for approximately 168,000 recently manufactured vehicles due to a potential fire hazard.
The recall is related to the plastic fuel tube in the vehicles, which has the potential to shift and come into contact with the brake line, leading to fuel leakage. This leaked fuel, if ignited, could result in a fire. Toyota has published a detailed recall notice on its website, emphasizing their commitment to resolving this issue promptly.
To address the problem, Toyota is currently working on the development of appropriate replacement parts for the affected vehicles, as stated in the notice. In the meantime, owners of the affected vehicles have the option to visit authorized dealerships, where they can receive free installation of protective materials and have clamps placed on the fuel tubes as a temporary solution.
Toyota Takes Action with Model Recalls
This recall pertains to specific Toyota models from the 2022 and 2023 model years, including the Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles. Toyota aims to notify owners of the affected models about any potential defects by early October, ensuring transparency and keeping customers informed.
If car owners have any inquiries or concerns about the vehicle recalls, they can contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) can be reached at 1-888-327-4236 to provide further information.
