Description of the problem	On the 2005 toyota 3. 5 v-6 engine (2fzr engine), there is an oil hose that feeds the left bank (top head of the engine) this hose is bulging and cracking and my research shows that this hose has a technical service bulletin issued by toyota, but will not be covered unless the hose ruptures during the 5 year or 60,000 miles warranty. This hose is defective and toyota has replaced it. Since part of the lubrication hose to the left bank of the engine is metal, the portion that is rubber is the affected part only. Further research found that lexus with similar displacement engine does not have this rubber portion of the lubrication hose. Instead, the line is all metal (as is the case in the right bank of the avalon engine. I am requesting an investigation and requesting that toyota issue a metal replacement hose. Numerous avalon owners and now highlanders are being recalled to repair this defective rubber hose.
