TOYOTA announced a problem with the Avensis affecting a total of 15,575 vehicles.
It is possible that during the manufacturing process the wall thickness of the high pressure supply pipe may have been reduced. If the driving conditions of the vehicle cause fuel pressure fluctuations, this could cause cracking and result in a fuel leak. Also, due to gasket fatigue and prolonged usage, the high pressure fuel pump check valve may be come loose and leak. Vehicles built from 23/8/2002 to 9/9/2003 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the fuel pipe and fuel pump check valve, plus gasket.
Vehicles with the following identification numbers are affected:
SB1##BBN##E000020 to SB1##BBN##E023672 SB1#J56L##E000504 to SB1#J56L##E012025 SB1#J56L##E012026 to SB1#J56L##E117506 SB1#P56L##E001008 to SB1#P56L##E001013 SB1#J55L##E063120 to SB1#J55L##E114755 SB1#P56L##E001018 to SB1#P56L##E015584
