Need your vin ran for diff recall ?

Just ran my vin. Nothing popped up. Why did they exclude the off road models?
I will look under my truck for leaking tomorrow morning.
There goes the resale value. Looks like I'm stuck with the truck now since the value is going to tank. (Joking)

 

So is it determined that auto's have the issue, or non-off roads or ? Is there a pattern?

 

The trend is everyone but off roads and pros

 

Ok. Thanks. Both OR and Pros both have the same rear end, right?

 

Yes. They have the locker. But doesn't mean they wont be recalled later. Most pictures posted here of seeping diffs are on off road models.

 

And manual trans trucks. Looks like the pattern is the 8" axle models are being recalled and the 8.75" models aren't.

 

I thought I saw an SR with a MT 4cyl say he was on the list. Been flipping through too many threads today and may be getting posts mixed up now.

 

On the list.

2016 SR5 DCSB V6 Auto 4x2

 

2016 trd OR 13,000 miles. Vin not on list, but this is what it looks like. I think something is wrong. Anyone else agree?

 

I have been invited to the recall party too! Guess I will be emailing my service rep to add this to my scheduled service appt....or get a new appt..or...idk. Now, bring confetti or no?

 

I have a 2016 TRD OR DCSB. I'm not showing up on the recall notice yet but I have some seepage on both sides of the diff cover. Nothing wet but definitely discolored from fluid.

This my forth Toyota 4x4 & between the springs, tranny TSBs, headliner rattles & now an actual recall I can say this by far the most disappointing Toyota in terms of overall quality.

The sad reality is it seems that almost all new vehicles have their share of issues these days.

 

Strange that so many OR seem to have seepage but they are not included in this recall.

 

Mine isn't on the list.

 

2017 OR, not on the list. On quick inspection this afternoon, no obvious leaking. I have the howl, but not expecting this recall to have any impact on that issue. Disappointing.

 

No offroad is currently being recalled but it is suspected that it could be related to the howl. Faulty hardware could allow the diff to get out of alignment and start howling

 

^ well damn.

Atleast they're addressing this... Finally.

 

Hope they kill two birds with one stone. But if that's the case they acknowledge the diff has been damaged and are now on the hook to replace them. So that can be opening another can of worms

 

Toyota spotted my differential leak during the 5k service and replaced my gasket. That was last month. The howl is still there.

 

They didn't Change the hardware like the recall states so you may want to take it back

 

Yup. That's my plan.
But if it's not leaking anymore would they still?
