    My 03/2019 built SR5 is on the list. We will see if the dealer will do it since I have a shell on the pickup. If not, silicone it is

    Where are you guys who found the recall finding it? My Toyota? NHTSA site?
    checked my VIN at NHTSA no new recalls for my 2019 built 05/19 in Texas.
    My Toyota site was temporarily down, you goobs must have it maxed out in traffic :rolleyes:

    If your 3rd brake light is not leaking, do they just add silicone RTV around the housing? I could do that...

    If they have to pull down my headliner, Idk if I trust my dealer enough to put everything back right.

    We’ve had several vehicles that were involved in the recall towed in due to fuel pump issues…. Camry, tundra, Tacoma, sienna…. Get it done

    If I find later that mines included in the recall should I have it towed? Or is it safe to drive there?


    It’s friday after all.
    On a serious note, Ive had zero issues with mine, I have an SR with no cargo light on my 3rd brake light so I’m not so sure I would want them to mess with it anyway.

    It’s not a safety recall for the brake lamp water leak issue… so no reason to have it towed

    Shells are removed by the owner or by the owners expense
