TOYOTA AURIS ( 27/04/2006 – 29/09/2012) DEFECT: The vehicles are equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control unit (canister) assembled to the fuel tank. There is a possibility that a crack could develop on the resin channel for the emission gas flow due to an improper shape of the channel edge at that location. The crack could expand over time and eventually fuel may leak from the crack when the vehicle has a full tank. Fuel or fuel vapour in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a vehicle fire
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.
