| LATE MODEL TOYOTA RAV4'S FROM MY RESEARCH SEEM TO HAVE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE EVAP CHARCOAL CANISTER REQUIRING REPLACEMENT (SEE NHTSB 10033407). MY CAR (ALTHOUGH NOT A 2009) HAS THE SAME EXACT OBD DIAGNOSTIC CODES LISTED IN THE BULLETIN ABOVE YET 2011 RAV4'S HAVEN'T BEEN LISTED WITH THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA WARRANTS THEM FOR 3 YEARS, 36K MILES BUT MOST SEEM TO FAIL JUST AFTER THE WARRANTY ENDS. MY 2011 RAV4, 4 CYL. WITH 51K MILES EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM 19 MONTHS (AND 46K MILES) AFTER MANUFACTURE (9/10) AND TOYOTA HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION IS A $1000+ REPAIR. ALL OTHER EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT ON MY CAR IS WARRANTED FOR UP TO 80K MILES OR 8 YRS AND IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. *TR | |
