Manufacturer: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
Description:
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.
Consequencs:
In the worst case, nozzle breakage could result in fuel leakage if the vehicle rolls-over after a high speed frontal crash.
Notes:
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.

Component: Latches/locks/linkages > Doors > Latch
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
Description:
Certain sport utility vehicles have a child protection lock (cpl) system on both of the rear side doors. when an operator of the vehicle closes the door very hard with the cpl lever set to the lock position, there is a possibility that the lever may contact the body panel, causing the cpl lever to move into the unlock position.
Consequencs:
This condition could allow the door to be opened with the inside while the operator believes that the cpl was activated. if the door were opened from the inside while the vehicle was in motion, an occupant could fall out and be injured.
Notes:
Dealers will shorten the cpl lever. owner notification began may 7, 2004. owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Component: Equipment
Manufacturer: Southeast Toyota Distributors, Llc
Description:
Southeast toyota is recalling 3,499 stainless steel exhaust tips sold by southeast toyota as an optional accessory for use on my 2008 highlander and highlander hybird vehicles. due to improper heat treatment during the manufacturing process, the original clamp used to secure the stainless steel exhaust tip to the exhaust pipe may develop microscopic cracks. eventually the crack may expand causing the clamp to break.
Consequencs:
The original clamp and the toyota stainless steel exhaust tip may fall off the vehicle's exhaust pipe and become a road hazard which would increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Notes:
Southeast toyota will notify owners and replace the clamp free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during may/june 2009. owners may contact southeast toyota customer loyalty department at 1-800-301-6859.
