Filing in context
The Evaporative Emission Control System is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 3 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 30 Toyota notifications from 2018 in this archive. For scale, 386 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 10 years and 11 months.
Defect
In the evaporative emission control system, the resin end section of the evaporative gas passage has insufficient strength and may crack due to fuel-induced swelling. Continued long-term use allows the crack to penetrate through the material, causing a fuel leak and fuel odor.
