    I purchased a brand new INNOVA delivered on 26th June 2014.

    I noted there is a strange marking inside the plastic decorative part in front of the radiator in the first time I opened the hood.

    By common sense, such marking usually indicates a fault, or defect on a part which is rejected or to be repaired.

    I curious about why such marking exists in a brand new car, email with photos has been to Toyota Philippines for their comment, but the channel of communication seems blocked, no response has been received. Even the mobile no. 639297719600 shown the web page is unattended.

    It's just some code. I often see that behind bumpers of brand new cars. Nothing biggie.

    It's a mark para malaman nila if you removed the wheels, actually lahat ng nuts and bolts meron paint markings...

    Nakaka-OC kasi. Linis ng rims tapos may marka sa nuts . AFAIK only Mitsu marks its (lug) nuts :naughty2:

    Those are quality control marks actually just to double-check if kumpleto and tama ang parts na kinabit. May nakita pa akong Isuzu na may "Oil" then may katabing check sa diff nya.

    May problem na bang nangyari related to that part since delivery date, 26th June 2014?

    Probably internal manufacturing code, part stock code, assembly code, etc. It does not automatically mean a defect.

    Just erase the marking if it bothers you.

    maybe... production markings.

    QC markings. ie: dates of inspection, release, arrival of parts, etc.

    Part nos. / codes: also helps them to distinguish which parts will go together or
    what part should be attached to what part.

    no big deal... 'wag lang pentel marks at talagang ipabubura ko sa kanila.
