Toyota Gasoline Fuel System Recalls Involve Leaks and Engine Stalling
Two patterns recur in these Toyota gasoline fuel system notices: fuel leaks and fuel delivery failures that can stall the engine. Camry appears repeatedly, including a fuel hose connection problem on certain 2018 V6 models, a filler pipe problem on certain 2019 Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid vehicles, and fuel pump recalls. The broad 2020 pump notices cover numerous Toyota models, with overlapping coverage among 2018-2019 vehicles. Separate notices concern pumps in 2018-2019 Toyota 86 and 2019-2020 Yaris vehicles. Leak notices also cover 2020-2021 Supra fuel tank welds, 2022-2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid fuel tube chafing, and 2024-2027 Land Cruiser Hybrid fuel connections. Certain 2020 Highlander V6 vehicles have a fuel supply programming problem.
Warning signs to watch for
- January 2020 Toyota fuel pump recall, 20TB02/20TA02: the engine may stall while driving.
- November 2020 Toyota fuel pump recall: the engine may stall while driving.
- 2018-2019 Toyota 86 fuel pump recall, WRG-21: fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving.

Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the supplied Toyota gasoline fuel system notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. That includes the Camry V6 fuel connection, Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid filler pipe, Supra fuel tank, Tundra fuel tube, and Land Cruiser Hybrid connection notices. The fuel pump notices, including those for Toyota 86, Camry and Yaris, also do not tell owners to stop driving. The Highlander programming notice gives no stop-driving instruction either. These omissions do not establish that an affected vehicle is safe to drive.
What the free repair involves
The stated remedies are free of charge. Camry V6 pipes are inspected and corrected as necessary; hybrid filler pipes are inspected and replaced if needed. Supra tanks are replaced. Tundra tubes receive protective materials and a clamp. Land Cruiser Hybrid connections receive inspection and a supplemental clamp, with tube replacement as necessary. Pump recalls specify replacement; Highlander 20TA06 specifies ECU reprogramming.
