Fuel pump recall on the way

Then I won’t be part of the recall. My build date was August 2019. YAY !

 

Hmmmmm. Mine has been fine. There’s an app for that. Lol

 

Now they're going to recall the clock.

 

Seriously, this is some bullshit. This is like the 3rd or 4th recall now?! Toyota should be paying for my time to do this shit too. Ok, I vented on TW now I feel much better. Nothing to see here.

 

You obviously never owned a Subaru

 

Pfffft. 2006 Tribeca my friend. Only had 2. Airbag & Hood latch.

 

Lucky.

 

Ha. Yeah, I've heard. Sorry, this fuel pump thing just ruined my day too early!

 

^ This

Wife's 2015 Forester had three engine replacements in less than 23k miles because the POS kept burning oil. Worse yet, Subaru never fixed the underlying problem with that engine. 12 trips back and forth to the dealer (120 miles away) trying to get them to acknowledge and fix it = nightmare.

 

So now that they have announced the issue, if the fuel pump causes an accident does Toyota cover the repairs and medical expenses since they won't have a fix for 2 months?

 

Took my truck in today, service guy said low pressure pump.

 

Woooo, Feb 2019 build date for me. Lucked out!

 

Yeah that’s true, good point.

At least we get recalls to fix our issues, Instead of problems being swept under the rug like the big three do... that’s how I try to look at it lol.

 

And it don't blow either.

 

Internet won.

 

nope... more likley you’ll be held accountable for continuing to drive a known defective vehicle. Yet another reason to maintain a million dollar+ umbrella policy.

 

it's almost 11.. can't wait! With bated breath, I will update the howling super-thread!

 

I have a '17 Tacoma, so not relevant to me for that, but my wife has a '19 Highlander for which we got an email yesterday. Recall official, but no remedy yet, I'm told I'll be notified.

 

Settle down Karen. Toyota could do what other's do, and deny there's a problem units are out of warranty.

MINI did this with the Cooper power steering pump and fan and by they decided to fix it with a service campaign most of the cars were not covered or the dealer would deny there was a problem. The pumps and pump cooling fan were croaking. In some cases people had their cars burn to the ground

Why they decided to put an electric power steering pump right next to a hot converter is beyond me.
