Filing in context
The Fuel Pump is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 57 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 6 Toyota notifications from 1996 in this archive. For scale, 3,036 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 years.
Defect
On certain vehicles, the drain hole at the lower section of the left rear side panel is blocked by sealer (body gap filler), allowing rainwater to accumulate inside the panel. This causes rust to form on the connector terminals of the fuel pump wiring harness located in that area, which may prevent the fuel pump from operating and render the vehicle inoperable.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the drain hole and remove any sealer blocking it. Inspect the affected connector and replace it with a new one if rust is present.
