The Vietnam Registry has just published information on the program to recall the high ground clearance Avanza and Rush models to inspect and replace fuel pumps imported and distributed by Toyota Vietnam.

According to Toyota, affected vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure pump, placed in the fuel tank, which supplies fuel for the fuel injection system. These pumps include impellers that can be manufactured with low density material.

If these impellers have low surface hardness or are subjected to chemical drying for a long time during the manufacturing process, cracking of the upper surface of the impeller may result. This results in the impeller becoming more fuel permeable and the impeller can be deformed. In some cases, the impeller can be so deformed that touching the pump body, which makes the pump cannot not work.
