Description of the problem	While driving home after grocery shopping, about a 4-mile drive, the vvt-i oil hose "exploded" (the word used by the toyota sunnyvale, ca), causing smokes to come out of the car's engine compartment. Immediately, the kids were pulled out the vehicle and placed in a safe location. We are very concerned about the safety of the 2006 toyota rav4's oil line. What would have happened if the family was traveling farther away from home?! There is a "limited service campaign" in 2010 that only covers certain vin of 2006-2009 toyota rav4. Although, my vehicle does not fall under the lsc, my vehicle is experiencing the same design defect. March 01, 2010 toyota announced phase three of a limited service campaign (lsc) on certain 2007 -? 2009 model year avalon and rav4 vehicles with a 2gr-fe (v6) engine ... For phase three, there are approximately... 89,000 rav4 v6 (2007-2009 model year) vehicles involved in the united states. Last year, toyota also announced phases one and two of this lsc on... Rav4 v6 (2006 model year)... Toyota needs to take better responsibility for this defect and recall all rav4 v6 with similar design defect.
