This could result in an engine compartment fire if a heat source or an ignition source is present.
The fix
Dealers will replace the pulsation damper. Owner notification began may 5, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact toyota at 1-[removed].
