Toyota has announced that its worldwide fuel pump recall, first issued in January, now involves 5.84 million vehicles, the total being expanded from 3.3 million vehicles with the inclusion of an additional 1.52 million vehicles in the US, Reuters reports.
The automaker said earlier this week that the latest recall round covers numerous models built between July 2017 through September this year. Affected models include 2013-2015 Lexus LS 460 and GS 350; 2017-2019 Toyota Highlander; 2017-2020 Toyota Sienna and Lexus RX 350; 2018-2020 Toyota Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Sequoia, Tacoma, Tundra as well as the 2019-2020 RAV4.
As before, the matter involves faulty Denso-supplied fuel pumps which could stop operating and result in a loss of power or a vehicle stall, leaving the vehicle unable to be restarted. This could also increase the risk of a crash while driving at higher speeds. The company said the fuel pump will be replaced with an improved version.
Previously, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated the potentially faulty fuel pumps were “exposed to production solvent drying for longer periods of time” during manufacturing, which could cause surface cracking and excessive fuel absorption, and eventually cause the impeller to become deformed and fail.
Closer to home, UMW Toyota announced a recall for 13,500 Toyota and Lexus models in March over the same issue. Perodua has also been impacted, with the current Myvi involved, and the company has gone with the direct contact approach to reach out to owners of affected units.
Other automakers have also been affected by the faulty Denso-made fuel pumps. Honda is another, and locally, Honda Malaysia issued a recall in June for 55,354 vehicles built from 2018-2019 over the same matter. Earlier this month, Bermaz Motor recalled 19,685 Mazda vehicles, also for the same topic.

But At least they fix fuel pump properly for this brand.
No they didn’t, that is why they are recalling near 6million cars to fix the problem.
Good one!
Ini smue salah denso… but denso aircond terbaek
Denso milik Jepun. Lagi-lagi ini semua salah Jepun, macam Takata. Xboleh caya Jepun lagi.
Lotsa incidents of cars cruising along motorway with shocking engine switched off due to sudden fuel cut
Toyota looked at Denso and said… Kaodim this one.
Secret to fuel-saving …
Nearly 6 million cars will save a lot of fuel and CO2 now.
Haiiiyyyyaaaa i tot Toyota cars no problem also kena recall ke. Moral of the story nobobys perfect
Of course,Every japanese brands got fuel pump problem due to Denso Fuel Pump. But mitsubishi, toyota, mazda and nissan could able to handle service their car and making sure to handle the spare parts properly. So why honda, replacing spare parts, still got problem. Shows that honda can’t even know how to handle their cars properly
Copy and Paste II: “ But At least they fix fuel pump properly for this brand.”
Indeed car no problem, only driver and passengers have mortality problem traveling inside faulty fuel pump car.
First airbag now fuel pam. Jelas cepat jelass
Someone was bragging about Japanese quality and reliability in Proton X50 treads, I guess this is the quality and reliability he was talking about. So if X70 & X50 never gets fuel pump problems, they are superior quality and reliability than Japanese cars.
Honda fanboys talk fake news claiming that honda has reliability and cheapest to maintain. But what results for honda now???
Honda fanboys talk fake news claiming that honda has reliability and cheapest to maintain.
Because honda sales advisors always very free for badmouthing to X50 as they are too worried about honda sales in which people are opting for other better brands and already decided to cancel their order for City.
Hei, Proton have after bad sales servis and have minor problem in my X70 such stuck power window, lock window and stuck sunroof.Can you accept my situation in heavy rain?
Getting wet from rain is as serious as your car suddenly lost power while driving on a highway, is it?
X70 & X50 both caina cars so no problems,
Not so bullet proof..Myvi? Power window down, still can use the car. Fuel pump down, kiok. RV.
Oh no. Fuel pump down this will happen “… risk of a crash while driving at higher speeds.”
Honda also got problem….. Fuel pump, air compressor and sounds too loud from engine.
Can you accept the power window stuck and sunroof crack in heavy rain like my X70?
Can you accept your car got rear ended and endanger your life because the car engine suddenly died on the highway from fuel pump failure like my Toyota?
Honda is the most failure quality than Toyota
Well said brader… you’ve got it spot on! To sum it all up, Japan failed big time in quality. If u failed to quality, then u totally fail. These Japan managers who caused tens of thousands owners of Honda, Toyota, Perodua, Mazda nervous their cars will breakdown soon without warning…. these Japan managers still heppi enjoying teh tarik & sembang gossip there.
Better to buy Proton X70 or X50 with no fuel pump problems.
slow act Toyota this recall faulty Denso-made fuel pumps, meanwhile we oso patiently waiting recall my Proton gen2 power windows.. sabar jer.
Nice try Kunta. So this is the superior reliability to get major problem and totally Regret Value you keep telling us huh?
Seriously, is every proton hater a Kunta dupe?? mr damon lee/alan/safety first…..
Ya ya we should all trust you eh Kunta, right after catching you posing with my handle aka typical Kunta style. Very obvious when you can’t mimic my writing style. Makes me believe now more than ever you have never left.
Word of advice; if you wish to continue trolling with active users handle make sure you don’t use people like me because people like me will bite you back.
Now come back to the topic. Sila beri pencerahan on your boss statement which contradicts what Toyota & NHTSA found.
Yes Kunta. As P2 spokesperson here, please answer your company’s contradicting statement with big brother Toyota. Stop divert the topic. Safety First.
Divertkan, jangan tak divertkan. Kalau pasal Jepunis, mesti mau divertkan cepat-cepat. Kalau tak divert cepat nanti gaji kena potong.
Your Perodua CEO claimed (and I quote); “In this instance, the issue with the fuel pump only happens when the vehicle is stationary, not when it is moving.”
But in the related recall at USA, the US NHTSA (via static.nhtsa.gov) have this warning about “This evaluation suggested that this issue occurs at lower speeds… but vehicle stall could occur while driving at higher speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. Toyota could not rule out the possibility of loss of motive power at higher speeds in the subject vehicles.”
So was your CEO lying to us in order to cover his arses? Sila Kunta beri pencerahan.
Imagine Toyota-god-car in the midst of cucuk-cucuk Maibee, Honda, P1, etc on the road………and suddenly the Toyota henjut-henjut becoz of fuel pump prob.
Surely lose face and face-palm.
Honda also got fuel pump problem. But honda have worst quality than any japanese brands
This is because denso fuel pump.Denso fuel pump always problem
You do know Denso is owned by Toyota, right? In the infamous words of newme, the Japanese worshipper “Want to kipas pun agak2 lah”.
Always problem? So you mean Jepunis cars always for fuel pump problem but they never told us. That is a serious crime! Jepun should be punished for manslaughter on a global scale! Takata belum habis dah keluar lagi banyak masalah besaq!
Won’t affect fuel pump much for other toyota models.
UP said above: “This is because denso fuel pump.Denso fuel pump always problem”
Aiya …Polestar also recall and that’s because they are selling in EU and US. Manakala Geely has never recall. Whatever problems they have disappear with the owner.
Another poor attempt to divert from the Japanese worshipper. Geely never recall? Here, eat your words https://www.yicaiglobal.com/news/geely-recalls-90-thousand-vehicles-for-defective-fuel-pumps
Oh, don’t forget to support your own comment with Pejuang Jepun and DK dupes, ya.
Aha.. see geely also recall… what u gonna say? Sembang kencang. ..hahahah
You don’t know to read how to become troll? Or you are the intern troll?
Sembang kencang is YOU.
YOU are the one that accused “Geely has never recall”. So eat your humble pie and shutup if you Jap worsheepers have nothing else to say. I can see much parallels between you and Kunta, the false accusations and blind praisings of your Japs brands are way too eerily similar as to be coincidental or else you peeps are coming from the same troll office/school.
Polestar does not sell any cars with fuel pumps.
