What is wrong

This recall is for certain block heater kits installed on certain vehicles or sold as accessories at Toyota or Lexus dealerships. On certain vehicles, the engine block heater cable may not have enough heat protection and could be damaged by high temperatures. If this happens, the cable could short circuit while plugged in, and cause the wiring to overheat or melt. Note: This recall only affects the following block heater/cord part numbers: C014003034 PK5A408J09 PU14000904 C014003151 PK5A408J13 PU14000905 C014000885 PK5A489J11 PU14000907 C014000888 PK5A489J22 PU14000909 C014000907 PK5A410H00 PU14000911 C014100904 PU14000900 PU14000913 C014100907 PU14000901 PU14003571 C014100911 PU14000902 PK5A489J14 PK5A408J05 PU14000903

Why it matters

Engine block heater wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

Toyota recommends that you should stop using the engine block heater immediately. Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to disable the engine block heater. For some vehicles, the corrective actions for this recall are under development. For others, a new engine block heater cannot be installed, and the owner will receive a refund of the purchase price of the engine block heater.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, an oil passage in the rotor of the vacuum pump may not have been machined properly and could result in oil not being distributed throughout the pump. This could lead to the illumination of a warning light and message, an audible tone, and a sudden loss of braking assist, which could increase stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the vacuum pump with a new one.

28 March 2018

Transport Canada lists: Camry 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with 4 cylinder engines, the engine pistons may have been produced with a diameter larger than the design specification. This could cause the engine to run rough, create an abnormal sound, emit smoke from the exhaust, and/or illuminate warning lights and messages. Additionally, it could result reduced motive power or the engine stopping, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect piston production date code and, if an engine contains a piston from the affected production period, the engine assembly will be replaced with a new one.

Transport Canada lists: Camry 2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, one or both fuel delivery pipes may not have been properly connected to the fuel hoses during assembly. If the fuel delivery pipes are partially engaged, it could result in a fuel odour and/or a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the fuel delivery pipes for proper installation and connect them, as necessary.
