DETROIT - Toyota Motor Corp will replace an oil hose in some 933,800 vehicles in the United States due to the risk of a potential leak that if left untreated could damage the engine, the automaker said on Monday.
Toyota spokesman Brian Lyons confirmed the company had sent the document on a "limited service campaign" to US dealers. He added the oil hose issue is not a safety issue and the vehicles are not being recalled.
Lyons said a leak would likely be noticed by drivers as an oil puddle beneath a vehicle.
The service campaign covers 2007-2010 model year Camry, 2005-2009 Avalon, 2006-2009 Rav4, 2007-2008 Lexus ES 350 and 2007-2009 RX 350 vehicles.
Owners of the vehicles can have the oil hose fixed at Toyota dealerships at no charge under a safety campaign that will run until March 31, 2013.
