Got a email notification about a recall, heres what it says....could be old news but apparently this place just got it added to their database.

Yeah I know some have received it, I think its about the yellow sticker everyone talks about.

Daredevil that I am, I removed mine.

 

Yeah....but you got it....that's all that matters to them. When your truck crashes if you over load it...Not their "fault"


Hope the sticker install doesn't take too long!!

 

oOOOOooo everyone watch out! You better get that label on your truck.. otherwise it'll catch on fire and kill your children!!!

 

oh no! those trucks dont have a sticker

 

Are there certain models for the recall?

 

jhodge 83, thanks for the info. I have the sticker so i should be good.

 

mg i don't have a yellow sticker, good all toyota suspension is long gone.

 

That's stupid....

I'm surprised they haven't included ALL vehicles they ever built starting in 05?? Why just the 09+ models?

 

I had TSB leafs and I also removed them ahah

 

+1 long gone

 

toyota might have a problem with your suspension youd get 2 yellow stickers!

 

What's even more ridiculous is that they are just giving another useless loophole sticker instead of doing anything to fix the reason the sticker was there to begin with. Fuck them.

Consequence: INCORRECT LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY MODIFICATION LABELS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE BEING OVERLOADED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.



How about INCORRECT LAME FUCKING PARTS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE CRASHING? What a sad, bad, lick my nad joke.

 

does this mean no new TSB for 09 owners?

 

If they had a f*ckin brain, they would include the 4 leaf spring with the towing package....at added cost, of course, to the consumer who wants the extra load carrying ability. They would(should) probably have to drop the towing capacity of the regular truck to 5,000 lbs.
