“The fuel pump on affected vehicles may stop operating,” Toyota said in a statement on Tuesday.
“If the fuel pump stops working, warning lights and messages may display on the instrument panel, and the engine may not run smoothly.
“This can result in the vehicle stalling and the vehicle may not be able to be restarted.”
If the power loss occurs while driving, it could increase the risk of a crash.
