Toyota Camry and Aurion vehicles recalled for possible leakage check
As reported last week on our Facebook page, Al-Futtaim Motors, Toyota’s sole distributor in the UAE announced that some units of the 2012 year model Camry and Aurion vehicles will need to undergo a safety inspection as per the communication from Toyota Motor Corporation. we have begun a customer service campaign on 7928 units 2012 year model Camry vehicles, and 319 units of 2012 year model Aurion vehicles. This is to verify the possibility of a defect in the fuel hose that connects the main fuel supply line to the engine. It may have become wrinkled during connector insertion, and in rare cases result in abnormal wear of the fuel hose.
The service campaign began from Sunday, 12th August 2012 and the dealer will contact customers directly for an appointment. While the inspection would take only 45 minutes, Toyota Motor Corporation says only a small number of vehicles will require any component replacement to avoid the threat of leakage. This problem is supposed to have affected certain Camry and Aurion cars built at the Toyota factory in Melbourne, Australia.
UAE customers can contact their customer care team on 04-2066002 between 8am and 6pm Saturday to Thursday.
