UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced one more recall for potentially faulty fuel pumps, this time involving 3,923 units of the Toyota Avanza produced from October 2017 to June 2019. Models otherwise not listed here are not affected by this recall, says UMW Toyota.
The affected units have fuel pumps which may stop working, and warning lights and messages may appear on the vehicle’s instrument panel. Engine output may be affected, and may compromise the driver’s control of the vehicle as a result. This is an expansion of an earlier fuel pump recall, said UMW Toyota. That earlier recall itself followed a worldwide recall involving 5.84 million vehicles.
As before, UMW Toyota Motor will notify all affected vehicle owners to schedule replacement work, at no charge to the customer. Owners of affected vehicles may contact any authorised Toyota service centre, or call the Toyota Free Phone at 1-800-TOYOTA (869682).

Why recall?
If the impact of component failure is damaging esp if it involved lives.
The hard truth is that they need to cover their backside. If something did happen then they can say ‘we regret that this happen as we have issued a recall…bla…bla…bla’.
Its not like this is the first time they make a fuel pump or the pump for the Avanza is a one off.
wise consumer quickly trade-in their avanza for rocky ativa
Perhaps. However wiser consumer quickly trade-in their avanza and would not want anything to do with Toyota (Perodua included).
That is like going out from the frying pan and into the fire? Why do something so stupid? Just avoid the whole brand and its affiliates.
Jepunis superior tech.
This is indon technology xd
Very good car, why recall? Why fuel pump got problem?
Checked with my neighbourhood tow truck operator, who said have yet to encounter an Avanza that broke down because of the fuel pump.
We got paid hushhush money not to tell for every Avanza we towed, we also got paid not to tell for every Myvi, Bezza, Axia & Aruz that we towed. Extra income for us of course we won’t declare.
Why you tell something supposed to be hush2? Now the other guys at hicom are also scared that u will also expose about them…
Sometimes in our profession I feeling we must be more professional so here I sharing what we know, and what we do know is Proton cars don’t really breakdown as much as some people assume. No hushhush money needed.
Only if you choose to believe…
