Brake line recall

The dealer is the one that said the dealer had no instructions.

 

I don’t give a shit what your point is now.

 

Hey man, no need to be so sensitive. Nobody is attacking you.

My point is the dealer said they have parts but no instructions.

You said that's back-asswards.

I said it's functionally the same as having instructions but no parts.

SJ man suggested it's strange instructions don't exist.

I said they obviously exist but haven't been released to the dealership it seems, based on what they told me.

All this seems reasonable, no?

Then your panties got all bundled up for some unknown reason.

 

You got chocolate in my peanut butter. No you got peanut butter in my chocolate!

 

Wow - if this helps, all they're going to do is replace the existing rear brake line with a short version. Nothing magical. An apprentice mechanic can do it. As for Toyo dealer needing instruction - Bah humbug...

 

Well I finally got mine so they must have the fix, and instructions

 

Congrats, looks slick.

 

Thanks, yeah they are nice looking trucks but feels huge compared to my 2nd gen

 

Same. Coming from 2011 access cab, it's going take me some time getting used to the longer wheelbase of the double cab long bed. Including probably starting to back into parking spaces. RIP access cab. I will miss thee.

 

Mine was a double cab long bed but this just seems so much bigger, haven’t checked specs but definitely drives more “truck” like

 

If my research was correct your turning diameter is now 4 ft larger and mine is 8 ft larger. Not trivial.

 

Yeah, turning is defined not tight

 

So I got notified yesterday that parts were in at my local dealer and this morning my truck is sitting there getting the recall done.

 

Dealer got green light and is now working on all the recalls. Cross fingers for today.

 

I tried to get a picture of mine. SR5 4x4 with 17" wheels. No recall showing on mine, build date sometime April 2025. Compared to a few other pics I've seen I think I must have revised brake line? Seems like a decent amount of clearance in there.

 

Correct, you got one off the production line with the shortened brake line already. Specifically, the recalled vehicles were production dates JAN 02, 2024 - JAN 17, 2025. Trucks coming off the production line after Jan 17 had the updated lines already.

 

Well this is what they did to mine

 

Well, now I believe.

 

It's pretty straight forward to do, but I'm annoyed, the master cylinder is a different size cap so my power bleeder doesnt work, it fits 99% of all the other toyotas.

It's the same cap as a mazda oddly.

 

The turning radius seems huge. I feel like Austin Powers trying to turn around the cart in the tunnel sometimes when i back into the parking spaces. Coming from a 2005.
