There is the potential for a foul to occur between a brake pipe and an engine mounted hose clip, which could eventually result in failure of the brake pipe. This failure could result in a loss of brake fluid which may lead to an increased stopping distance under braking. In addition, there is a risk of fire due to brake fluid escaping into the engine compartment.

After high frequency use of the ignition switch there is a potential for failure of the switch contacts. Should the contacts fail, it could lead to the starter motor continuing to run even after switch release. This condition could lead to abnormal high current draw causing the switch to overheat. In an extreme case, the wiring harness or switch may catch fire.

active0 Toyota DYNA 200
In the subject vehicles equipped with N04C-TF engine (turbocharger with waste gate system), when repeatedly accelerating at high speed, excessive vibration may be generated within the turbocharger due to insufficient strength of turbine blade. This excessive vibration may eventually cause internal damage to the turbocharger resulting in reduced engine power and white smoke emission from the exhaust.

REC-002896
active0 Toyota ECHO (NCP1#) & PRIUS (NHW11)
Due to improper moulding of the resin body of the crankshaft position sensor installed on the engine block, engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In addition, the wire harness connector may not be sufficiently attached to the locking tab of the sensor wiring connection. In this condition, engine oil inside the sensor wiring connector could cause expansion due to the heat of the engine and could deform the sensor wiring connector. In the worst case, the connector may become disconnected, which could cause the engine to stall while driving and not be able to be restarted.

The splines on the engine pulley and/or pulley shaft may be worn due to the use of the wrong assembly lubricant during assembly. This can result in the engine pulley mounting nut not applying enough clamping force to properly hold the pulley in place and create abnormal wear on the splines of the pulley and/or pulley shaft. The worn splines may cause abnormal noise and the vehicle may not accelerate smoothly.
