Note: Fuel Pump Customer Support Program 23TE01, all Avalon owners: open hood and smell occasionally. I have also filtered out recall documents since they tend to be VIN specific, so you will need to look that up separately for your specific VIN at NHTSA here. Even if the dealer "cannot duplicate the issue" or does not apply the TSB, the fact that the complaint/concern is in writing may be sufficient post-warranty for the dealer or Toyota to apply the TSB free of charge if the symptoms become more apparent.ĭon't feel like going through 31 pages of TSB's? No worries, I've done it for you, and filtered out inconsequential (to us) dealer communications/instructions and the ones marked obsolete, and also ones that are not marked obsolete but have a newer TSB that addresses the same issues. From experience, simply requesting a TSB fix is usually not effective, you have to complain about the symptoms that the TSB addresses. These fixes are done free of charge on a complaint basis only during the bumper to bumper warranty period, usually the first 3 years or 36,000 miles of ownership. A TSB, or Technical Service Bulletin, is basically a notice from the manufacturer to all their dealer service departments, letting them know of common issues they see for specific models, and then to address these issues, they may suggest fixes that can involve software or hardware updates. ![]() The front end, however, will keep lots of potential customers out of the showrooms because that’s way too much for a 3.4-liter V6 that’s described as a 3.5 although it displaces 3,444 cubic centimeters.If it has been a while since looking at the NHTSA website to see the various Avalon TSB's, and your warranty coverage is about to expire, it might be helpful to review them and make an appointment with a Toyota dealer before the warranty expires. ![]() Scheduled to arrive in dealership forecourts in late 2021 unless the semiconductor crunch says nope, the all-new Tundra is a tempting pickup in many respects. Payload maxes at 1,940 pounds (880 kilograms), which isn’t on par with the F-150 either. When properly equipped for the job, Toyota claims 12,000 pounds (make that 5,443 kilograms) of maximum towing capacity. Only available with the i-Force Max powertrain that integrates an electric motor on the bell housing of the 10-speed automatic transmission, this grade is flexing FOX shock absorbers, a 1.1-inch front lift, and Falken Wilpeak all-terrain rubber boots.īelow it, customers are further offered the luxed-up 1794 Edition based on the Platinum, the well-appointed Limited, SR5, and work-truck SR trim level. That’s not on par with the Ford, but nevertheless, we should remember that a TRD Pro features many off-road goodies that hinder straight-line performance. Speaking of hybrid pickups, Andre has also tested a hybrid-powered Tundra TRD Pro to 60 miles per hour in 6.86 seconds. The Fast Lane’s managing editor also reports 7.02 seconds from zero to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) for the half-ton pickup, which is definitely marvelous because the Blue Oval’s F-150 PowerBoost takes 6.15 seconds. ![]() Toyota’s preliminary numbers for the 3.4-liter V6 with a couple of boosty snails come in the form of 20 mpg combined, 23 on the highway, and 18 in the city (11.7, 10.2, and 13 liters per 100 kilometers).
