2024 TOYOTA GR86 — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

There seems to be wear in the fuel lines under the hood. Possibly caused from rubbing against something.

Myself and others online have noticed unusual wear on fuel lines located in the engine bay. There are 3 fuel lines on the right side of the engine bay to the right of the intake manifold that can become chafed. Because these are fuel lines I find the fact that they have wear to be very concerning and a potential fire hazard

I discovered what appears to be severe rubbing on one of the fuel lines in my 2024 Toyota GR86. The car has just over 6,000 miles on it, and the rubbing is so severe that it has removed the printed writing on the line and smoothed out the hose to the point where it is flat. From what I can tell, the hose is rubbing against another fuel line, which must occur while the engine is running. Considering the car was manufactured in September 2024, I find this to be not only unacceptable but dangerous. If I had not caught this, it would have easily rubbed through and resulted in an engine fire, which could have resulted in the total loss of the vehicle. While reviewing my vehicle, I also noticed that a friend with a 2023 Subaru BRZ had the same issue. While his rubbing was not as severe, it is clear this is not an isolated incident and affects others. I am in the process of gathering photographic evidence from others who are impacted and so far know of at least two more cases beyond the above: a 2023 Toyota GR86 and a 2024 Subaru BRZ. I will be contacting Toyota and Subaru directly; however, given the potential severity and danger of this issue, I believe it needs to be addressed immediately.
