OK - So, it's one of the published TSBs.

Just because there is a published TSB, doesn't mean that every car which that TSB applies to will have that issue. It is to educate the service people of a known potential issue, so they don't have to spend a great deal of time troubleshooting that issue, when a customer comes in. This is standard practice for all car manufacturers.

My only issue with this is that manufacturers typically only address the issue if it is discovered while the car is still under warranty. But, there again, if they didn't use the warranty period as the demarcation, then what would be a reasonable period to continue addressing the issue?

I believe that the FIRST time that the cars with this are driven for an extended period in a reasonaable heavy rain storm this failure will occur REGARDLESS of period of in
service time. If you look at the replacement parts differences it is clear that they
were concerned enough to do a redesign but not honorable enough to offer
a $100 update to avoid a $1200 repair that was caused by a known defect. This
goes directly to the question of INTEGRITY. This is not a failure of use, wear and
tear or expectation of service....I believe it is a continuation of the corporate
mentality to dismiss known defects as "OUTSIDE" warranty period. To answer
your question of how long....if a change in production is made to correct potential
failure and no offer of at customer cost update at "IN DEALERSHIP" major service intervals is made....forever. This is truely an issue of integrity not warranty. Regardless of the number of complaints you have viewed during your participation in this forum....
to dissmiss this defect is not considerate of those folks who have these infected cars and need to be informed so that they make choice of a $100 up date prior to failure.

Either there is a missing post, or I'm not seeing all of them, but Where is the TSB that's being addressed ? I do not see, nor can I find anywhere, any reference to TSB-048-07. I'm interested in seeing that TSB....
Now my curiosity is Piqued........

It's posted in the thread that I linked to in my post above. It is in regards to the evaporative canister getting saturated with water. The fix is a change to the filler pipe cover.

hopefully by the time you get this you will have seen the list from CTSCOTT
that I am sure will cause Every Toyota dealer in the world to quivering. tsbo48-07 is about < o7 3 door hatch backs....if you have one outside warranty within the vin # range....fix it....then picket a Toyota dealership, they will not take you seriously otherwise. That is my opinion.
