nairn man Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 was looking at a recall for our lasses seat ibiza and came across toyota recalls. so here goes: Recall: No. 1 of 2 Recall Ref: R/2004/168 Exact Model: Celica Corolla and MR2 Description: Brake fluid may leak VIN: Build Date: Numbers: 6908 Defect: Due to an improper washing process of a metal part within the brake master cylinder, there is a possibility that the groove for installing the rubber seal ring, which is located at the end of the mast cylinder, may be corroded. In this condition, brake fluid may leak from the seal, or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder, which could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance. Action: Vehicles that are likely to be affected will be checked and a quality assured part fitted if necessary. Launch Date: 25 April 2005 Recall: No. 2 of 2 Recall Ref: R/2003/030 Exact Model: Description: POSSIBLE FUEL SPILLAGE WHEN PETROL CAP IS OPENED VIN: JTDDR38T#00133333 to JTDDR38T#00151427, JTDDY38T#00059144 to JTDDY38T#00064700 Build Date: Numbers: 2440 Defect: The check valve in the fuel tank inlet that prevents reverse fuel flow is incorrectly fitted on some vehicles. This could cause fuel to spill out when the cap is opened if there is high internal pressure in the fuel tank. Action: Correctly fit the check valve or, if necessary, replace the fuel tank and check valve. Launch Date: 12 March 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not really a Jap car.. lol Gen 1 looked like a Yank muscle car Gen 2 looked like an Opel Manta Gen 3 looked like an Audi of sorts Gen 4-6 looked Japanese of that time, now they no longer build cars that look that individual Gen 7 looked different altogether although designed by a Yank, it's styling was meant to draw in the Integra crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsoundcraft Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 In an attempt to be semi-serious I think owners of the 190 are more concerned about lift bolts and oil consumption/engines blowing up and haven't noticed Brake master cylinder fluid leaks. Was it something that was generaly faulty then fixed after the first month of ownership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
