Toyota tells dealers to stop selling 6 models

Looks like there might be a recall for the 2013 and 2014 Tacomas.

uh oh

 

Sweet, maybe they'll replace all my fabric in my truck. Recently quit smoking and it's nasty in there!

 

I'll take leather. No worries from me

 

It's only for models with seat heaters. If you don't have them, you won't be affected.

 

Good call... Here is a link with more info:

Recalls are not a bad thing. Toyota is pretty good about it and it shows to us as customers they care about our purchase and safety.

 

I was kind of hoping mine would be affected to offer them a few bucks for a trade up to TRD seats or something.... Oh welllllll

 

I've just started shopping for my first Tacoma (I'm driving an '06 4-Runner now) and just saw this. My first reaction was, "oh great, what timing" but since I wasn't likely to with the Limited package, which I think is the only one with seat heaters (right?), it's not really an issue I guess.

 

It's not really an issue at all, like MagnumTaco said, recalls aren't a big deal. As the article(s) said, no fires have actually happened yet, they are just very proactive on safety. Especially since the Gov't and media went after them on the "auto accelerate" issue that turned out to be a none issue in the end.

 

Now i'm worried about using my aftermarket seat heaters

 

Same here. I just ordered one and started to get concerned. Glad I shouldn't be affected.

 

I think it shows a lot that Toyota found the problem and contacted the safety administration first. Shows a dedication to safety. Toyota again is showing it's superiority when it comes to problems. ..... Now if only they would fix the sensitive ABS engagement issue I hear so much about....lol.

 

It's not a recall and really that's all I could say cause we had a meeting yesterday bout this and were asked not to discuss about it.

 

OFF ROAD and seat heaters never seemed righ to me, so I don't have that problem...

 

Maybe I'm weird I love my ABS on slick roads. My 2001 Cherokee can be scary. Maybe its my tires maybe the Duratracs grip well so there is no issue.

 

Well, if my seats catch fire, at least I'll be warm.

 

Now I can wear that flame retardant suit Ricky Bobby

 

Hmm, I put after market heaters in my 2012, they get fucking hot! Good thing I'm prepared lol
