    They don't. The test a portion or they get a 3rd party independent company to do so (whose reputation and future viability as a business relies on impartial and properly done work)

    Yes, it is.

    The guy you trashed who was helping the group works there and guess what my paycheck used to come from Toyota too. It is the very definition of a stop sale and is exactly what it is called. Just because the concept escapes you & you have an apparent inability to read the notice doesn't change facts.

    It's your bias that doesn't allow you to admit the truth.

    Now to use your shitty logic let's carry it out a little. Can they sell and deliver the effected vehicle without the inspection? Be honest with yourself...you don't need to answer because the rest of us know.

    Another example, if there are findings...a leak or worse, damage, can they sell & deliver the vehicle? Again, just be honest with yourself and no need to respond because we all know the correct answer.

    Thats not a stop sale you linked, its a recall ! Says zero about stop sale.

    Can they deliver the vehicle without the check ? I don't know but its transparent to us because its done in 10 minutes anyway. Do you think they are leaking on the lot with a few miles anyway ???

    If you slow down and read it, as it was sent to the dealer in the notice I provided just a snap shot of, it states not to be sold...

    And yes I'm sure there are examples on the lot with leaks...of course they can't be sold until inspected...leak or not...hence the term STOP SALE.

    As hundreds of thousands continue to drive until June + recall they aren't selling any until the 5 minute inspection. Got it.
    Spin it to the max.
    Good night.

    Seepage ?!

    Hell yes! My 2016 has had that seepage problem since I picked it up.

    However it has been in the drivers seat and gets worse as I get close to my driveway and front door.

    Whoa - I thought it was caused by loose nuts, drinking, laughing and age!

    One last post before the lock. Can someone start a new thread so we can all track this issue there once this one is locked?

    Out of curiosity, those of you who have the seepage issue, have you done the rear diff breather relocate? Also out of curiosity was your truck built in Texas or Mexico.

    My 2016 Sport is on the list (currently at 6720 miles) was built in Mexico, and I have the done the relocate. No seepage/leaks, and all the bolts are tight.

    On a separate unrelated note, I've read this entire thread, and would like to say thank you to the approximate 15 posts that were useful and relevant!

    This is why Toyota is giving Yaris loaners for this recall program.

    No worries - you do not need to change your life style.

    BTW

    Yaris is an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and Roman. In Greek and Roman mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of Eunuchs.

    I see your point and agree with it. Stop sale to the public however means not available and can be misleading you also have to admit.
