Toyota Australia is recalling around 19,000 Camry models and its other locally-made derivatives, the hybrid and V6 Aurion.
The recall affects cars built between October 2011 and July 2012. A total of 19,099 was sold in Australia. Toyota also exports the model line primarily to the Middle East (LHD) and New Zealand (RHD)

The recall is due to a fuel hose that may have been incorrectly manufactured.
“There is a possibility that the fuel hose that connects the main fuel supply line to the engine may have become wrinkled during connector insertion. In some cases this could result in a small hole in the fuel hose which may allow fuel to leak,” the automaker said.
There have been three reports of this condition in Australia but no accidents have been reported.
Dealers will inspect the affected models and replace fuel hoses as needed.
Toyota Australia did not say if any export cars would be recalled as well.
