#1 of 1 air filter by sadfjowner Jul 03, 2008 (1:22 am)
I purchased an FJ from the Southwest Region with the dual exhaust package made by Borla which came with an air filter similar to a K & N. After 23,000 miles I inspected the air filter and found a gap of 3/16" on either end which allowed contaminates to flow around the filter into the engine. Has anyone heard of a recall? I replaced the stock air-intake system with one from K & N and saved the stock air filter. I live in Arizona ( the reason why I bought the FJ in the South West Region is a long story) and have already had problems with the exhaust systems brackets. The dealers here are not very compassionate with my warranty issues for reasons I can not explain. Help!?!?
