Consumer Description

OIL HOSE RUPTURED ON '07 TOYOTA RAV-4 DUMPING ALL ENGINE OIL. ENGINE THEN WAS STARVED FOR OIL AND RUINED INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS. TOYOTA IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS HOSE LEAKING AND A TSB EXISTS FOR THE FIX. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL OR EVEN A MANDATORY INSPECTION OF THIS HOSE AT REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS. OUR ISSUE WAS A COMPLETE RUPTURE AND IT WOULD HAVE COST US THOUSANDS TO REPAIR ON OUR OWN IF THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT COULD HAVE EVEN LEAD TO A CRASH AS THE TIRES AND BRAKES GOT COVERED WITH OIL. *TR
