According to Toyota, fuel pipes in the engine compartment are coated with plating to avoid corrosion. The concern is that particles from the plating could transfer to the gasket, where there is a fuel pressure sensor. A weakened gasket sealing may result in\u00a0fuel leakage within the hot engine, making the car prone to catching on fire.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota is currently unaware of any accidents, injuries, and deaths associated with this issue.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been hurt in an accident due to a motor vehicle defect in Norfolk, a lawyer at <a href=\"\/about\">Joe Miller Law<\/a>,\u00a0might be able to help you file a lawsuit against the manufacturer involved.
