What's wrong?
The fuel filler pipe on the 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid is the tube that carries gasoline from the fuel door down into the fuel tank. During refueling, it has to stay firmly connected to the tank so fuel flows into the tank instead of escaping under the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, Toyota says the filler pipe was inspected or replaced after assembly, before delivery to the dealer. During that work, the pipe was not properly reconnected to the fuel tank on some vehicles. When the owner refuels, that loose or disconnected joint lets gasoline leak beneath the vehicle instead of staying inside the closed fuel system.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up during refueling, when fuel leaks from under the vehicle, so an owner has no normal dashboard light or driving symptom to rely on before the fuel system fails to stay sealed.

The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Toyota has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related repair. Keep your repair invoice and payment records, then ask Toyota customer service or the dealer service desk how to submit them under that plan.
