Recon updates

Anyone know what going on with the bill on getting rid recon? What stage it is in?

 

Probably the same stage it’s been in for the past decade. Recon isn’t going to be gotten rid of. No clue what the purpose of it is though.

 

They just hired 3 new additional workers. (Heard from a friend.)
I guess the tag team of 4 that did mine wasn't enough.

 

Heard it gonna get banned and passed soob

The part I like is where it says the staff lacks the expertise that is required to inspect the vehicle properly. lol. Try telling the staff that.

 

I’m sure the staff are all structural engineers lol

 

Just saw this article from April. So does this mean recon is going away next year?

Looks like it is halfway thru the process.

 

According to the news may of 2021. The recon will stop Jan 1st 2022. They will not bring it back until 2025.
I just did recon yesterday. They could not confirm or deny it was truly going to end.
It took 15 minutes and cost 15 dollars. So it’s easy and cheap.
Only Shiite thing is you need to have a recent alignment within 30 days, if you have lifted or lowered vehicle.
So that can cost you extra 100 or 200, a cost that made me furious. Luckily I just had alignment.
They do it once for the lifetime of your vehicle unless you go higher lift or change tire size.

 

How early did you get there? And, how long the wait time?

 

Need to book an appt on line unless that changed lately.

 

As of May 27, it’s now first come first serve.

 

they open at noon so I was there at 11:59. I was 4th in line first come first serve. I was there no more than 15 20 min.

 

Thanks bro!

 

Since our Tacoma trucks don't come with mud flaps? Do we need them for Recon?

 

Yes, the rears are mandatory to pass.

 

So a stock Brand new Tacoma cannot pass Recon? How can the dealer sell them this way?

What happens if you only install a leveling kit?

 

A stock Tacoma won't need recon but if you change the suspension with a lift then you will need it or you won't pass a safely check.
Recon goes away at the end of 2021, maybe just gold off till then.

 

Yeah I know it goes away till 2025. I just want to have the Sticker.
So far I only have the 2" leveling/lift kit installed.

But my truck doesn't have it's plates yet. I have an alignment appointment next Saturday.
