Built around the 2002 Avalon exactly as Toyota released it, this factory service and repair manual is tied to your car's year, engine and trim — the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE) in XL or XLS form — so the clearances, settings and tightening sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for this car rather than close figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2002 Avalon. One recall is on federal record for this model year, and it covers the steering. Toyota recalled certain model year 2000-2004 Avalon vehicles because improper casting of the steering lock bar meant a minute crack might develop; should the steering lock bar break, the steering wheel would lock. Owners have filed 148 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 62 technical service bulletins.
From checking a steering column concern to a routine service interval on an XLS, it puts Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this 2002 Avalon in front of you.
