Background
Toyota has received some reports where vehicles may exhibit excessive engine
oil consumption.
Toyota is now announcing the part replacement phase of Warranty Enhancement
Program ZE7 for vehicles exhibiting excessive engine oil consumption.
Applicability
The engine is covered under the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 5
years from the date of first use or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first).
However, Toyota is announcing a Warranty Enhancement Program to cover
warranty work for parts replacement to address excessive engine oil
consumption*.
*NOTE: Eligibility for parts replacement under this Warranty Enhancement
Program is dependent on the results of a dealer performed engine oil
consumption test.

This Warranty Enhancement Program provides a Primary and Secondary
coverage extension to the vehicle’s “New Vehicle Limited Warranty” for
replacement of parts related to Excessive Engine Oil Consumption. If the
condition is verified, warranty work will be performed in accordance with
applicable Technical Service Bulletin under the terms of this Warranty
Enhancement Program.

Applicability (Continued)
Primary Coverage offers the warranty enhancement until October 31, 2016
regardless of mileage.
After the Primary Coverage expires, the Secondary Coverage is applicable for
ten (10) years from the date of first use or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
Verify VIN applicability for this warranty enhancement by checking TIS before
completing any repairs.
Direct marketing of this warranty enhancement is strictly prohibited pursuant to
the Toyota Warranty Policy 5.21, “Warranty Solicitation.” Non-compliance with
this policy may result in a claim debit.
This Warranty Enhancement Program is subject to all the terms and
conditions set forth in the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, as
detailed in Toyota Warranty Policies 4.1 and 4.17. For example, improper
maintenance, lack of required maintenance, the use of fluids other than
those specified in the Warranty and Maintenance Guide, or repairs to
vehicles which are currently or were previously titled as “scrap,”
“salvage,” or “dismantled” is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty or this Warranty Enhancement pursuant to Warranty Policy 4.17,
“What Is Not Covered by the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty”.
This warranty enhancement provides coverage for the originally equipped
engine. Prior to performing any repairs, verify the serial number on the
engine matches the original engine serial number for that VIN. The original
engine serial number can be found under Additional Vehicle Details in
National Service History (NSH).

Applicability (Continued)
Vehicles that received a genuine Toyota short block replacement that is pre
counter measure on a prior repair are still eligible for this program. The
Short Block part section of this warranty policy bulletin contains counter
measured short block part numbers, please reference this information to
determine if the previous replacement was counter measured.

Covered Vehicles
Not all vehicles within the specified model years are covered by this warranty
enhancement. Verify VIN applicability for this warranty enhancement by
checking TIS before completing any repairs.

Oil Consumption Testing and Documentation
Dealers will need to perform an engine oil consumption test to determine
eligibility for part replacement.
Procedures for the oil consumption test can be found in T-SB-0158-14 (Toyota)
and S-SB-0031-14 (Scion).
IMPORTANT: All warranty claims submitted will require oil consumption test
documentation. The completed technician sign off sheet, provided in the TSB,
must be attached to the claim.
If the vehicle does not qualify for warranty work based upon the oil consumption
test performed, one (1) additional oil consumption test can be performed (free of
charge under the Program) after 6 months or 5,000 miles has lapsed if the
vehicle is still within the terms and conditions of the Warranty Enhancement
Program. A maximum of two (2) engine oil consumption tests will be performed
free of charge under this Warranty Enhancement Program.
