The Rear Differential Leak Recall Notice in Hawaii

damn 2 1/2 months is kind of long. pretty sure im gonna have to leave mines at the lot as well. cause I can see 3 spots its leaking from.

 

just dropped off my truck yesterday and had to leave it. got me a Nissan frontier as my rental car as well. service guy told me it might take about 60 days to get done.

 

servco waipahu just called and said my truck is ready.
2 months wait, im glad its over.

 

nice.

 

No visible leaks b4 taking in Mapunapuna, service guy said beforehand no car loaners available for 2 weeks. Lucky just needed to be retorqued.

 

How does the job look? clean and well done?

 

yeah it looks good. they cleaned off the work area.
i don't have the excess gasket goop coming from
the rear end that others have reported.
my truck just needs a good cleaning now.
i noticed a lot of tacomas at the mapunapuna
and waipahu lot yesterday.

i managed to put 2.4k miles on the rental truck.

 

thanks for the input. im glad youre not reporting the same mess that others are mentioning on the main post on the main board. Windward servco has a ton of tacomas as well (more than i saw last week). A co-workers husband handed over his taco about 4 weeks ago and his patience is worse than mine. Plus hes not a fan of his hyundai that he got from Enterprise.

His wife told me he wants to pay the service dept at windward a visit "to pick up sunglasses left in the truck" but really he wants to do a "welfare check" on his vehicle. Hes mad and he even invited me to go with them. I just might go for the hell of it.

 

I wonder how much miles I can rack on my rental truck lols. I already have about 110 miles in 4 days haha. might go around the island or eat some shrimp this weekend. I took some pics of all the trucks at mapunapuna this past Tuesday and its a lot.

 

You gotta do it. I am about at 500 miles for 11 days. I didnt even eat in my truck. Not only am I eating, in my CRV loaner, im putting on miles, giving my mutts rides with no seat covers, im driving all over...heading to the North Shore is on the list of things to do as well. If this goes on for a long time I might become and uber driver.

Im fortunate that I really do not "need" a truck right now and the CRV suits all my needs plus I get decent MPG. Gut feeling is that it is going to be awhile

 

im glad I have a truck as a rental cause I had to ship out some big boxes lol. its a 4cly frontier so it actually saves me on gas.

 

well here are the pics I took at mapunapuna

 

OMFG. Windward Servco got an area where the Tacos are clustered. those photos of them stacked is bat $hit crazy. thanks for taking those.

 

lol one of the guys told ne that they had more at sandisland. maybe about 80 or so

 

I have my appointment at Waipahu the second week in August, does that mean they are going to hold my truck hostage also? I have weeping so I know it will need to be fixed....I am scheduled for a loaner, but how long is the wait now that parts are coming in?

 

I am at 3 weeks. I have a coworkers husband who dropped of his truck a week before so he's at 4 weeks. We both have our trucks at Windward Servco. I was told 3 weeks when i dropped my truck off (which has come and gone). Im assuming my co workers husband is going to get his serviced first because he was there a week before me. Hopefully in August the process speeds up but im not holding my breath.

Make sure you get a loaner to your liking and needs. Enterprise told me the rental was "open" and the manager of the Kaneohe Enterprise told me I could take any car on their lot. I only had 6 to choose from but took the CRV with only 2000 miles on it.

 

Thanks for the 411. I made my appointment 2 months ago hoping the parts issues would have gotten better, also that was the first available time a service loaner would have been available.

 

I was in for my last free service today and the guys said getting the recall kits in from Toyota has been a nightmare. Good thing I have an Off Road 4x4 that's not affected.. yet.

 

good thing you have the off road manual trans.
that combo has the least problems so far

 

Anyone got their truck back that was waiting for the recall to be done and where on Oahu did you go and how long did you wait before getting it back?
