    Toyota Aurion 2010: Faulty oil line

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Aurion Toyota Aurion Advice Toyota Aurion 2010

    My mechanic has advised me it will cost around $400 to replace the oil line on my 2010 Toyota Aurion. It hasn't failed, but I have been advised the part is suspect and Toyota replaced it in later models. Apparently it can fail without warning, causing a massive oil spill and possibly serious damage to the engine. Do you think it is satisfactory that Toyota has wiped its hands of this problem and won't do a recall?

    Yes, I think it is poor form on Toyota's part not to update the hose on affected cars for free. Definitely have the hose changed, but talk to Toyota's head office people about supplying the hose free of charge, and ask them to pay for the repair.
