What's wrong?
The fuel tank on the 2020-2021 Toyota Supra and Z4 stores gasoline under the vehicle and feeds it to the engine. The tank is made from two molded halves joined by a weld, and that seam has to stay sealed as the tank warms, cools, and moves with the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, the welding process did not meet specification when the supplier joined those tank halves. The heating time used during that process was out of spec, leaving the weld weaker than intended. If the weld separates, gasoline can leak from the tank instead of staying contained.
Owners can notice a fuel smell near the vehicle or see fuel leaking under it. Treat either sign as a fuel-system warning and contact a Toyota dealer for recall service.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician replaces the fuel tank covered by recall 20V700. Parts and labor are covered by the recall, so the dealer repair is free now. For related repairs paid before the owner notice, Toyota points owners to the New Vehicle Limited Warranty rather than a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how that warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
