P2401 on Toyota & Scion: the cases behind the evidence
What this page is
Inclusion rule
Federal: every NHTSA complaint whose narrative names P2401 on Toyota or Scion vehicles — the complete set at pull time, nothing sampled.
Community: every admitted record is either an owner account or a documented repair case for one Toyota or Scion vehicle with P2401; it has an immutable raw receipt, exact source excerpt, and public HTTPS verification link. General explainers, sources behind login or a paywall, and sources without a substantive verbatim excerpt stay out of this public layer. Counting rules: /methodology.

Signal tags & bias
Signal tags are machine-applied with a code-specific, versioned wordlist (v1.0). In the federal lane: canister / pump named 10 · water intrusion 6 · TSB cited 6 · wiring suspected 1 · cost named 5. The same chips orient community records but are not counted there. Quoted excerpts are checked against immutable source receipts. Structured symptom and attempt lines render only when the exact phrase is also present in that receipt.
Federal bias: federal complaints are self-selected — owners file when a problem is expensive, unresolved, or felt as a safety issue, so this set skews toward bad outcomes and says nothing about how often the code sets in the first place. Implausible odometer entries are kept verbatim; they are treated as possible typos in prose, never silently corrected.
Community bias: public discussion records are self-selected — they are richer on what was tried, what reportedly changed, and what it cost than on incidence. A record can be an owner account or a documented repair case; neither proves fleet prevalence.. Threads can disappear; when an archive snapshot exists the row links to it, otherwise it is marked live-only.
