Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2102210 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | February 18, 2003 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Other (Fuel System) |

Issue
In the fuel tank, the check valve that prevents fuel from flowing back from the tank to the filler neck during refueling is improperly assembled on some vehicles. When tank internal pressure rises significantly under high-temperature conditions, suddenly opening the filler cap may cause fuel to spill from the filler neck.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the check valve in the fuel tank. If the valve is improperly assembled, correct or replace it; if the fuel tank itself is defective, replace it with a new unit.
