This factory service and repair manual is keyed to the 2004 Toyota Avalon exactly as Toyota built it — the 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE), in XL or XLS trim — so each specification and torque sequence you work to is the published figure for this car and this model year, not a number inherited from an adjacent generation.

Known issues on the 2004 Avalon. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first, campaign 10V345000, is a steering fault: improper casting of the steering lock bar means a minute crack may develop on its surface, and should the steering lock bar break, the steering wheel would lock. The second, campaign 11V539000, falls under engine and engine cooling, where the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley. Owners have filed 252 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 68 technical service bulletins.
From a steering column inspection to a power steering belt that will not stay on its pulley, or a scheduled service on the 3.0L V6, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for this 2004 Avalon.
