  • Recall 1991102 [Canada]: Fuel supply
    Continuous driving of gasoline vehicles under conditions of high ambient temperatures and heavy load, can create high pressure in the fuel tank. This could eventually cause a crack and possibly result in fuel leakage. Correction: fuel tank will be replaced with an improved version.

  • Recall 1989127 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
    The rear seat lap belt may not return to the fully retracted position after use. Consequently, the belt may not be released due to the locking characteristices of the automatic locking retractor mechanism and subsequent rear seat passengers might be unable to properly use their seat belt. Correction: dealers will install a belt guide or sheath, designed to decrease retracting resistance and to allow free belt movement by maintaining an opening between the seat back and seat cushion.

The fuel tank is letting water in and i have rust in my fuel line.

On a few occasions (4-8 times), the gas pedal has gotten stuck, in such a way, that the vehicle actually accelerated. It has happened from a complete stop going up to 20-25 mph, and while on the fwy, driving approx. 65 mph. The first time, while driving from complete stop to about 20-25 mph, my wife noticed the vehicle accelerating, she turned into a smaller street, then forced the shifter into park, and pulled up the e-brake. All other times, we simply tap, or pump, the accelerator pedal for it to get 'unstuck'. *tr

I have a 1988 toyota landcruiser. There is a special service campaign (m01) nhtsa campaign #91v110000 that directs the dealer to replace the original gas tank with one with a new and improved design. I spoke to my dealer about this and they reffered me to servco pacific which is the toyota distributor for my area. I spoke with a man named fred kitajima whom is the customer service manager for servco. He told me that a check of my vin number [xxx] showed that the replacement had already been done on 05/29/1992, and that i was not eligible for any further service. He went on to say that servco puts a ten - year cap on sscs, so even if the fuel tank had not been replaced, they would not do it anyway. My vehicle has a very strong odor of fuel in the cab, so i took it to the dealer to track down the source of the smell. The technician said that i have a faulty "vapor control valve" which they are going to replace. I asked the technician what the part number was on the fuel tank that is now on my vehicle and he gave me the following #: [xxx]. I checked ssc m01 and it reads that the fuel tank is supposed to be replaced with part #: [xxx]. I feel that my fuel tank has not been replaced as stated by servco pacific and that they, servco pacific, is either negligent or mistaken. *ak *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6)
