Toyota Announces Voluntary Safety Recalls of Certain Camry, Venza and Tacoma Vehicles

The notice I received in the mail said if you have had you had it repaired for this problem they would refund you.

 

sub'd to bitch about my light being on for 3 years.

 

This is only through the 09? Dosent seem like they would have changed anything from 09 through 2012 on this cable.

 

By that logic you think it wouldn't have taken until 2012 for them to issue the recall. Someone at some point had to take a step back, look, say "fuck", and went from there in the back half of 2009/front of 2010.

 

Well look at the rear spring TSB, originally it was only for 05-09, then they added 10, then 11, etc..

 

I went and had mine replaced two weeks ago (not a good dealership experience), I got my recall leter in the mail last week...lol.

 

I might go into the dealership and force them to either show me that the 2010 has a new version (i.e. part number) or replace it under the recall. I have a really good dealer in Tucson so I am sure they will.

 

Still waiting on my letter :/

 

Ran my VIN on the toyota site and it says I'm covered by the TSB!

I'll go in after I install my one piece clip

 

Spoke with toyota on the phone (using number listed few posts above). I have been specifically told that:
#1 YOU HAVE TO HAVE PROOF OF PAYMENT or else there will be no refund
#2 NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED UNTIL all parts arrive, letters arrive and LETTERS will tell you where to mail in your stuff

I was still given a 8-10 week refund window.

 

Just got my notice letter today. Evidently we have to wait till the 2nd letter before we can take it in....

 

called the stealership today and they ran my VIN#. My truck had a recall notice their system for the coil spring. Went tot he dealership and in 3 hours everything was taken care of.

 

Was told by the local service manager that no parts are available.
I said "well my light is on".
"Oh in that case I have the part, can you bring it in on Wednesday? It should take an hour..."
I'll post when the work is done.

 

^^^^^Will let us know when parts are in the Orl. dealers...

 

Got my recall notice for the clock spring today!!
Now to get my money back!!
YAY

 

That's awesome! I hope I get mine back too!

 

Does anyone know if you will get a refund and a replacement of the clock spring? If your clock spring was replaced, was it replaced with the same part that is recalled? If so, wouldn't Toyota be responsible for both?

 

I got my notice today on the recall. Toyota says they are working on a fix, nothing available yet. Will send a second notice when new replacement part is available.
My airbag light has not come on yet, so no worry, will wait for real fix.
If you already had yours fixed you can apply for a refund on your repairs, but you will still want to get the fix done right when they have it.

 

Yes, but you have to apply for the refund on the fix you paid for, and yes they will fix it again when the parts are available.
If you have not already, you should register your vehicle at toyotaowners website, must enter vin # , then you will get notified by mail, FYI

 

do you have to wait for the recall notice to arrive? or can i just call and ask to have mine done without notice?
