|
Not tested by NHTSA
|
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

BRAKES:HYDRAULIC:MASTER CYLINDER:OTHER
|
|
Description:
|
Vehicle Description: Sport utiity vehicles. The reservoir filler cap of the brake master cylinder may induce a vacuum, introducing some air into the brake master cylinder reservoir. This could cause abnormal brake noise and increased pedal stroke when the brakes are applied. The increased pedal stroke will lengthen the stopping distance of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will bleed the air from the brake lines and replace the reservoir filler cap. Owner notification began July 30, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

FUEL:FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY:ATTACHMENTS
|
|
Description:
|
On sport utility vehicles, there is a breather hose that attaches to the nozzle of the on-board refueling vapor recovery (ORVR) valve, which is located on the topside of the fuel tank. The breather hose is attached with a clamp, whose ""tabs"" face in the upward direction. When the vehicle was crashed under the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) test (i.e., 35 mph frontal barrier crash), the clamp ""tabs"" contacted the underside of the body due to movement of the fuel tank, causing the nozzle to break. In the worst case, nozzle breakage could result in fuel leakage if the vehicle rolls-over after a high speed frontal crash. Dealers will rotate the specified clamp. Owner notification is expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
|
|
Description:
|
Certain sport utility vehicles have a child protection lock (CPL) system on both of the rear side doors. When an operator of the vehicle closes the door very hard with the CPL lever in the lock position, there is a possibility that the lever may contact the body panel, due to insufficient clearance between the CPL lever and the body panel, causing the CPL lever to move into the unlock position. This condition could allow the door to be opened with the inside while the operator believes that the CPL was activated. Dealers will shorten the CPL lever. Owner notification is expected to begin during May 2004. Owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Engine
|
Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Evaporative (EVAP) Emission system and the Engine. Failures of the EVAP system will cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. The common failure of the Engine is excessive oil usage caused by engine oil gelling. However, when proper maintenance schedules for oil changes are followed, oil gelling should not occur. Lexus has issued an 8 year unlimited mileage goodwill repair for this condition. The cost for parts to repair the EVAP system can range from $88.00 - $350.00 while labor can range from $19.50 - $65.00. The cost to repair the Engine is estimated at $4,500.00 for parts and $1,514.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.
