Q2: Are there any warnings that this condition exists?

No. However, if a fuel leak occurs, drivers may notice fuel under the vehicle or smell a fuel odor. If this occurs, do not drive your vehicle. If you are currently operating the vehicle, carefully move away from traffic and pull over to a safe location as soon as possible.

NOTE (Customers who live in the state of California)

The state of California requires the completion of Safety Recalls / Service Campaigns on emission related parts prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the State requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this FREE Safety Recall, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State of California Regulations require ToyotaeBay to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all vehicles that have not had the Safety Recall completed.

Your ToyotaeBay dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction Form after the campaign has been completed. Please ensure you retain this form, because the DMV may require that you supply proof that the campaign has been completed during your vehicle registration renewal process.

 

Q4: Which and how many vehicles are covered by this Safety Recall?

There are 35 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall.

Chronology :

On September 14, 2020, a non-US field report indicated that a 2019 BMWeBay Z4 experienced a fuel leak. An engineering review was initiated, and the fuel tank supplier was contacted.

A review of supplier production records indicated that a deviation in the welding process had occurred when joining (welding) the two halves of the fuel tank. The review indicated that a specific process parameter involving the heating time of the tank halves may not have met and, therefore, could lead to an out-of-specification weld condition between the two tank halves.

Vehicle assembly information and supplier production records were reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.

On November 5, 2020, BMWeBay Group decided to conduct a voluntary recall for potentially affected vehicles.

BMWeBay Group has not received any reports, nor is otherwise aware, of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.
