TOYOTA announced a problem with the AVENSIS affecting a total of 39 vehicles.
On certain Avensis vehicles equipped with 16 inch steel wheels, due to the shape of the wheel trim there is a possibility that the edge of the wheel trim may interfere with the sidewall of the tyre. Should this occur, whilst the vehicle is being driven, the wheel trims may rotate, which could lead to interference with the tyre valve. In the worst case, and if the vehicle is continuously driven in this condition, loss of tyre pressure could ensue. Vehicles built from 05/08/2006 to 06/19/2006 are at risk.
Recalled vehicles will have the steel wheels (standard equipment) replaced with aluminium alloy wheels.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
SB1DD56L#0E002416 to SB1DD56L#0E003153 SB1DR56L#0E163333 to SB1DR56L#0E167862 SB1BR56L#0E163480 to SB1BR56L#0E166020 SB1ED56L#0E001899 to SB1ED56L#0E002404
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest TOYOTA dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
