  1. Filler pipe and cap (fuel system)

    NHTSA 78V249000 Reported 5,317 vehicles potentially affected TOYOTA MOTOR CO., LTD.

    Inadequate welds on the bed side panel of the long beds, may allow disconnection of the fuel filler pipe from the fuel tank in the event of a rear collision. Such a disconnection could cause fuel leakage to occur. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 301, "fuel system integrity".

    Remedy: Dealer will install a special bracket, from the right side wheel housing to the fuel inlet pipe, to ensure compliance with the safety standard.

    Model years: 1978
