Rear diff recall - Canadians?

Just brought my Tacoma in for the recall and they found signs of rear diff leaking. They told me (Gateway Toyota - Edmonton AB) that the truck would be grounded for a while (up to 2 weeks!) while they service this problem.

Is anyone else experience the same timeline?

 

Did they give you a loaner?

 

I phhoned my dealer, told them there is some seepage and i will not bring mine in till parts are available.

 

I would do exactly this if they weren't providing a loaner. But if they are loaners are a lot of fun!

 

Last loaner i had for nav/ecu issues i got a ram bighorn, quite enjoyed how big it was for day to day. But impractical for my camping/skiing/ overland usage.
So ill stick with my taco.

 

I brought mine into Mayfield Toyota. Everything was fine. But I was told if they found a problem that it would have to be grounded and they would provide me with a vehicle.

 

In the states we could only hope for 2 weeks, been like 2 months

 

My 2016 is not part of the recall, but when I took it in for the 15,000 mile service, they found seepage. Not serious, but they will replace the seal when I get back from a trip I have planned.

 

Yes they did. Dodge RAM 1500

 

at least they gave you something similar.
a lot of people got like corollas lol.

For those that use their truck as a truck IE use the bed for storage, a corolla is as useless as diesel in a petrol engine would be.

 

What a "let-down"...!!

 

Doesn't the Ram 1500 already have several current recalls?

 

I got a recall letter in the mail about 3 weeks ago. I have been on holidays for the past week and a half. I return home Monday. I hope to have mail / the recall parts in and not he waiting weeks. Ugh fingers crossed!!!

 

Mine was recalled but no seepage. So they re-torqued and away I went. Was in for regular service.

 

The ram would have waaay more power way better transmission more room, better ride. Not as good in tight spaces or off road but they are fine trucks that had (years ago ) a bad reputation

 

This.
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the RAM felt in terms of power and handling. Much smoother ride than the Tacoma and gobs more power. Albeit my loaner is plain jane with zero bells and whistles, it doesn't hide the fact that these trucks have come a long way.
