I have a 1999 Toyota Camry with approx. 89,000 mile and the check engine light came on and I am told that the charcoal canister needs to be replaced at a cost of $ 294 parts and 190 labor. Upon checking the internet to see if this was a legitimate repair it seems this problem is prevalent on many Toyota models including mine.
