Problems and faults: TRD XV40 Aurion
- The 3.5-litre 2GR-FE V6 petrol engine (generally pre-2009 build) had a design fault which could lead to oil leaking from a short rubber hose that supplied oil to the VVT-i on the rear cylinder bank; this generally occurred 70,000 and 105,000 km.
- Air from the centre rear air conditioning may be warmer than the front – this problem was fixed by revised servo motors and air conditioning amplifiers.
- The check engine light may illuminate due to a problem with the variable valve timing camshaft oil control valve.
- Dashboard rattles were not uncommon, even on new cars. To fix, the dashboard had to be removed and insulating clips installed.
