Rear differential recall.

Yeah, but it would be a shame to lemon something like my truck due to parts availability. I honestly had no problems with my truck. I mean, even the rear diff had just 2 spots of minor seepage.

It's funny, now the dealer tells me only to deal with the service manager directly, and not talk to anyone else. I can tell from talking to them, they are just as frustrated as I am.

 

No leaky differentials on these Japanese built Toyota 4 X 4 's.A great buy at under 10K out the door.

Haha...great commercial, and awesome trucks!

 

That accent tho... today that would be condemned as racist.

 

Rear diff nuts are only 12mm. Checked lightly and all are tight. Cleaned off the fluid film. Will watch for any sign of a leak. Checked fluid and level is good. Going to put off going to dealer till they get there act together!

 

Called Toyota customer service. Spoke to Julia Davis, she said the dealership has every right to hold the vehicle for safety concerns. She said the procedure is if no leaks are found to recheck torque and release vehicle. If leaks are found to hold vehicle. There is no repair instructions at the time. My case #1705040934 she gave me as proof of our conversation.

I asked the dealership for a larger vehicle since I need it to carry stuff. They said they would get me something comparable. I went to enterprise they said all they can get me is a mini van. Since it's under toyota warranty the dealership told them it has to be a toyota product.

 

@TheCookieMonster says this is false

 

Dude minivans are badass. If only I could get one lifted with 4-wheel drive!

 

This one is seeing more action than 90% of the TRD PROs ever will​

 

I called Toyota corp and was told it wasn't true the ladies name was Michelle @smitty99

 

@smitty99 Have you taken yours in yet?

I haven't taken mine in. I'm not technically on the recall list and I'm not sure I want to drive a yaris around for 2 months while they sort it out and work through the problem.

 

I had mine replaced already once and it is not leaking. My truck is not on the list.

 

Call again, I bet you will find a different tune this time around.

 

IBTL

 

I just chatted with Brittany on a live Corporate Chat window and she told me they are absolutely authorized to hold those trucks on the recall list until they are able to make them road-worthy again.

Then she tried to sell me a 2017 Limited. What a bitch!

 

I just got off the phone with Courtney from corporate, she told me not to believe things I read on the internet.

I also just talked to Courtney and she said 2016_dbag is actually quite pleasant on the phone but that he eats poo.
