'98 GS300/GS400 Extended EVAP Warranties

Certain 1996 1997 1998 Toyota's are eligible for extended warrantly/free repairs

The evaporative emission control system warranty will be extended from the current two years or 24,000 miles to 14 years or 150,000 miles. The extended warranty is estimated to cost Toyota about $3 million, and will reduce emissions of hydrocarbons by affected vehicles by an estimated 30 tons, in addition to the 1,200-ton reduction of hydrocarbons achieved by the supplement environmental project.

Owners who have not received a notice within 12 months are encouraged to contact their local Toyota dealer. Owners of affected vehicles who suspect a problem with their evaporative emission control system (including the smell of gasoline vapors) should contact an authorized Toyota dealer for service under the extended evaporative system warranty. Toyota will not cover the cost of repairs or diagnosis for systems other than the evaporative emission system or for repairs performed by parties other than authorized Toyota repair facilities.


See the following list for affected vehicles:

Re: '98 GS300/GS400 Extended EVAP Warranties

you sir, are my hero.
I'm obviously going to try regardless of what is said, but you think I can get my money back for having this repair done a few months ago? At 142k by the way, just under warranty!!
Should I talk to the dealership, or toyota directly?

Dealership first, then if you don't get any satisfaction, Toyota
