Toyota Australia announces recall on previous generation Avalon, Camry V6 and Kluger models
Nov 9, 2011 By Toyota Australia.
Toyota Australia has initiated a vehicle safety recall on previous generation Toyota Avalon, Camry V6 and Kluger vehicles produced from June 2004 to March 2005 as part of a global recall.
A total of 21,792 previous generation Toyota Avalon, Camry V6 and Kluger vehicles are involved in Australia.
Condition:
The amount of adhesive applied between the inner and outer rings of the crankshaft pulley may be insufficient and could cause the outer ring to become misaligned, resulting in an abnormal noise and/or the charging system warning light illuminating. In some cases the power steering belt may dislodge and a sudden unexpected increase of steering effort could occur.
Situation:
There has been one case of the condition reported in Australia for previous generation Toyota Avalon, Camry V6 and Kluger vehicles. There have been no accidents or injury associated with this condition.
Next steps:
This safety recall is a preventative action. Customers can continue to drive their vehicles.
Toyota Australia will commence contacting affected Toyota vehicle owners by mail at their last known address in December, advising them to make an appointment with their preferred Toyota Dealer. This recall activity will be conducted free of charge.
