What is the reason for the Highlander recall to replace the fuel pump?
1 Answers
Starting from July 10, 2021, GAC Toyota is recalling a total of 25,143 Highlander vehicles produced between October 13, 2018, and April 9, 2021. Here are the specific details: 1. Reason: The recall is due to manufacturing deviations during the assembly process of internal components of the high-pressure fuel pump at the parts production factory, which may result in insufficient tightening of some components. During use, abnormal wear may occur inside the high-pressure fuel pump, and due to loosening of internal components, fatigue cracks may develop at the welded joints of the high-pressure fuel pump, potentially leading to fuel leakage. In extreme cases, this may increase the risk of fire, posing a safety hazard. 2. Emergency measures: Before the recall repair, if users detect a fuel odor or notice fuel leakage during vehicle use, they should stop using the vehicle and contact the dealer for assistance. It is recommended to avoid proximity to ignition sources until the safety hazard is resolved and to visit the dealership for repair once the recall campaign begins.
