Filed January 28, 2009 · Toyota

Overview

MLIT filing number1122442
TypeStatutory Recall (government-mandated recall)
Date filedJanuary 28, 2009
Manufacturer(s)Toyota
ComponentExhaust Emission Control Device
Production periodJanuary 18, 2005 — April 2008
Vehicles affected261,017 units

Defect

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pipe has insufficient strength. Thermal expansion and contraction caused by exhaust gas heat induces cracks in the pipe, allowing exhaust gas to leak accompanied by abnormal noise. Continued use allows the crack to progress until the pipe fractures. In the worst case, exhaust emissions may no longer meet regulatory standards.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the EGR pipe with the corrected part.

状況

排気ガス再循環装置(EGR)のパイプの強度が不足しているため、排気ガスの熱によるパイプの伸縮により、当該パイプに亀裂が発生し異音とともに排気ガスが漏れることがある。また、そのままの状態で使用を続けると、亀裂が進行して折損し、最悪の場合、排出ガスが基準値を満足しなくなるおそれがある。

改善措置

全車両、当該パイプを対策品と交換する。
