What's wrong, in plain English

Inside the fuel tank, the low-pressure fuel pump contains a small part called an impeller. Over time, this impeller may crack and become deformed, which can cause the fuel pump to stop working correctly. If the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven. That means the engine could suddenly lose power in the middle of a drive, cutting out unexpectedly while you are on the road.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer or Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 to schedule the repair.
3. The repair, replacing the fuel pump assembly, will be done free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V617000.
