Name

Toyota Yaris, Yaris Verso, Prius

Description

Affected range produced between 31 January 2001 and 29 October 2001 (Yaris), 8 October 2001 (Yaris Verso) or 8 November 2001 (Prius).

Risk

Due to loss of control of the vehicle, the product poses a risk of accident. Given the 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 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.
