UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced a recall to replace the fuel pump on certain units of Toyota and Lexus models in Malaysia. The company says that affected vehicles equipped with a potentially faulty fuel pump might stop operating, resulting in warning lights and messages being displayed on the instrument panel, a lack of engine power, stalling and being unable to start. This could also increase the risk of a crash while driving at higher speeds.
Keep in mind that this recall isn’t specific to our country, as similar recalls involving fuel pumps have been made in other countries, with reports indicating around 3.2 million vehicles are affected worldwide.
Based on information received from Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), around 12,000 units of the Toyota Alphard, Camry, Corolla, Innova and Fortuner are affected by the recall here, along with 1,500 units of the Lexus GS (GS 300, GS 350), IS (IS 300), LC (LC 500), LS (LS 460, LS 500, LS 500h), NX (NX 200T, NX 300h), RC (RC 350, RC300h) and RX (RX 350, RX 450, RX 450h).
Only the models listed here that are manufactured from 2013 to 2019 and distributed by UMWT are involved in the recall campaign. The company will notify all affected vehicle owners to schedule replacement works at no charge.
For more information, owners of affected cars may contact any authorised Toyota or Lexus service centre, or call the Toyota Free Phone at 1800-8-TOYOTA (869682).

A brand that really cares for their customers won’t willfully give them defective cars. That is not caring, that is irresponsible.
A defective low-pressure Denso fuel pump, made between August 2018 and January 2019, on Toyota vehicles, fuel pump designated with a part number prefix of 23220 or 23221.
The premature failure, is linked to a defectively designed plastic impeller, the component within the pump that spins and generates negative pressure. This negative pressure pulls a vehicle’s fuel from the gas tank up through the fuel lines and into the fuel filter before the gasoline is delivered to an engine’s fuel injectors. As a result, the plastic impeller in Toyota’s defective fuel pumps can deform and become inoperable due to excessive fuel absorption.
Fuelpump Supplier, Denso and Toyota Engineers, both party either skips or cutshorts their internal and onroad durability tests
Honda engineers and their fuel pump supplier always never check even DRB Honda as well about their onroad durability tests.
The fuel pump issue stems from sodium particulates, that is found in some types of gasoline in the U.S., to stick to the internal components of the fuel pumps. This can reduce the pumps’ performance and in hot weather, cause the vehicle’s acceleration to be degraded. It can also cause the engine to stall, which could result in a crash.
This recalls 437K Honda cars. And this will cause accidents and injures to the passenger and drivers too. That’s why QC always fail for honda and never return to buy honda again
Hey Wilson Khoo, OTT lovey dovey la you on Honda , don’t show it here, You has been trolling with your horrendous english for a year now. Go on trolling on Honda Facebook page, not on PT
Wow so many honda salesmen are spending their times downvoting on problems of honda and ppl comments about proton & mazda & toyota.
Revamped the way the testing used to work and making sure every testing unit on the road tests are tracked and audited, written in a very details report, any type of failure on specific parts of the vehicle should be mention in a report by the test engineer at which condition and its effect on the powertrains delivery. Written reported failure in details approved by head of dept then should be forwarded to the vendor.
do it like Ikea, show the mileage of the pump being continuously tested.
Fuel pump faulty is extremely dangerous, spontaneous combustion everything burned to ashes.
gooder to get proton x70 … peace of mind.
these honda salesmen must be disliking proton, toyota, mazda, subaru and etc which are always like to spend time without their knowledge. Hmmm…know going to do next
Don’t be surprise! Even Honda got so many problems about fuel pump for CKD Honda models, absorber, steering rack, aircond blower plus the famous CVT Earth Dream Gearbox Problem
13500 units of toyota models recall is no joke matter.
Toyota cars price oredi skyhigh in Malaysia….now having problem to recall the fault. Customers better consider other car makes.
Nobody agreed with you, they still want Toyota brand.
Hot-tempered Toyota and Lexus salespersons and their supporting fans are on fire right now, coming in a drove here to dislike your comment
Haha, they belove Toyota fail in quality still insist to protect.
Honda Salesman detected
At least Proton recalls and knowing that making sure that proton is more reliable and more satisfactory from the customers, especially for toyota, subaru, nissan & mazda. Unlike drb honda, never bother to announce recall when quality is very bad which customers are always very upset in driving honda. Malu Malu drb honda
at least Toyota recalls it proactively before any actual issues, it shows being proactive and a professional company, unlike perodua which chooses to remain silent until the myvi issue becomes too many than only silently sending out notifications to users for a recall, shame on perodua for being so unprofessional
Those yg purchase through grey importer camna?
Why still buy Vellfire Alphard? you see now.

provided the car doesnt exploded in flames before arriving for the next service appointment.
you have the same sinisterly logic advice service centre could just replaced the faulty takata airbags without recalls when the car came in for next service right?
There were a few cases of Toyota caught fire in Malaysia in the past few months. One is the whole Alphard burnt down after crashing and killed 2 passengers inside; another one is Wish suddenly caught fire in the middle of the road with the driver managed to escape in time.
that is why Toyota recalled, do you even know what recall means? it’s up to owner to decide when to bring their vehicles in instead of keeping mum and wait for them to come in their next scheduled maintenance (assume they still have warranties and still going back to authorized SCs).
If fuel pump fails b4 end of warranty then they should be replacing it at their own cost, not expecting their custmoers to pay for it. That is irresponsible and should be sued kawkaw.
that is “If” they failed within the warranty. chances are, many won’t fail until warranty expired so kudos for Toyota to be proactive in rectifying this issue.
No.1 in the world? Reliable? Hahaha
Khak. Even Lexus models got fuel pump problem. Myvi, Aruz, diam diam coz peasant car onli no nid recall.
Three days ago, my Toyota Innova stalled and I was not able to start the engine. My car was bought last year in October. I did not receive any message for recall to change the fuel pump. Can someone please advise…
