 Description of the problem2006 scion xa- check engine light at 89k miles; codes indicated "evaporative system" issues. Brought to the dealer; was told charcoal canister needed replacing as there was water in it that shorted out a purge valve. Did a search online and found a toyota technical service bulletin (tsb eg04706) that described retrofitting a new fuel vent tube collar to prevent water intrusion and all subsequent cars after a certain vin got a new design. Since the car is well out of warranty i ended up spending $750 to fix. If the tsb was implemented earlier as part of normal servicing it would have only been . 5 hrs labor adding a small part (collar) at much lower cost. The fact that toyota lets the consumer take the car to failure before rectifying the issue is just not right.
