Leaf Spring Recall

2005 double cab sport 4X4, 108,xxx miles

Frame recall - I'm in Southern Indiana and was advised in early May my frame would be replaced. I finally found the whole this week, its about 1 x 3 inches, right next to the cat. converter on the drivers side. This seems to be a common spot, so I assume the extra heat and evaporation has something to do with this. Has anyone had issues with them breaking the struts or exhaust? If so are they cover the replacement cost?

Rear leaf springs - Mine are to be replaced, but I was also told they would probably not be replaced until they did the frame.

AC leak - the compressors are known to go bad/leak. I got lucky last year when I bought my truck and the service tech (bought the truck from Cadillac of Louisville) noticed the AC wasn't very cold. They put in a new schrader valve, went out and was replaced a week later. A week after that they replaced the entire AC system at their cost.

 

Got mine back yesterday......new 4 leafs maybe an inch or so higher. Was at dealer for 42 days. Had a rental paid for by them but am happy to get my truck back

 

42 days?! All they did were the leafs and it took that long or did you have other work done?

 

Last time I checked, mine wasn't on the list. My drivers side are actually inverted and passenger side are straight/flat with bed empty.

 

I dropped it at dealer to have them check rear leafs and they found a broken one. They told me to leave it and they would replace them do to recall . It took 41 days for them to get the springs an then they installed them the following day

 

I had the same problem, the dealer ordered new springs and had them in 5 days. I guess it depends

 

On the dealer.

 

I guess it does! I would have liked a 5 day turn around....think they dragged their feet a little.... did you get 4 leafs

 

Yes, got the 4leaf pack. Also all new bolts and U clamps.

 

The replacement was not the recall either. They said once Toyota informed them of what to do for the recall, I would be notified and have to bring the truck back in.

 

Dis you get "new OLD" Springs - or the new designed replacement springs?? Some Dealers do this until the new designs are availab le ??

 

I assume it is the old design. I had the 4 leaf pack and they put the same 4 leaf pack on. If the new design is the recall replacement then I would still need to have that done when the parts are available.

 

Had mine replaced yesterday. 100 days from when I brought it in when one broke till they got replaced. Got the 4 leaf pack. Not sure if they're the recall ones or just replacements in the meantime?

 

Is the 4 leaf an upgrade option that the dealers offer? I have 3 leaf on my OR.
Just wondering.
Thanks.

 

Dunno. It is what I ended up with. They didn't ask beforehand. Don't know the difference between 3 or 4. I had 3 before the repair.

 

Thanks
