"This is not a safety recall." <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/">Toyota</a> is making it perfectly clear that this latest limited service campaign involving V6-powered vehicles sold over the past few years is not, in fact, a safety recall, as it does not have the potential to harm drivers. What's happening, however, is the rubber portion of the oil supply hose for the VVT-i actuator has the potential to degrade, which can cause oil to leak, in turn causing the engine to produce odd noises and the oil pressure light in the dash to illuminate. <br />
<br />
The most recent phase of this service campaign involves 2007-2009 model year V6-equipped <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/rav4">RAV4</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/avalon">Avalon</a> models. Last year, however, Toyota announced the first two phases of this campaign, which included 2005-2006 Avalons, 2007-early 2010 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camry">Camrys</a>, 2006 RAV4s, 2007-2008 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/es">Lexus ES350s</a>, and 2007-2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/rx">Lexus RX350</a>s. For all of these models, Toyota dealers will replace the oil hose at no extra charge, and the service campaign will be available to owners until March 31, 2013.
