Air bag issues/ recall

Hello All First post!! And wanted to share with you that my airbag light came on at 56000 Miles!! Mines is a 06 prerunner access cab cost was $467.00 Lucky i bought the extended warranty and it covered it!! Just wanted to share.

 

I am glad you got the extended warranty that should be valuable in the future but Toyota was supposed to cover it to 60K....glad you did not have to pay for it. MJEFF

 

happened to me =/

 

hey what dealer did you’r work? and what dealer quoted you $600? just wondering.

and sub. my light is not on. but i want to know more about this if it does. i have ’07 DC TRD OR

 

Check your warranty manual, as I presume that 07's have the same 60months or 50K protection. The problem is that its a what they call a "spiral cable or clock cable" its poorly manufactured part and Toyota should get there act together and get a new supplier.

My "spiral cable" cost $250 according to my dealers parts sheet. Mark up is huge, no doubt.
Labor rates in MA. are probably \$80+ per hour. Should your light come on, get it to the dealer and bring your warranty book. MJEFF

 

I just took mine into the dealership today & they replaced my spiral cable and said that it was a new recall. They also said that everyone that has paid to have that replaced, Toyota will be reimbursing those customers as well. This will be on the recall letter sent out this month

Mine is a 2007 with 95,000 miles & the light just came on yesterday

 

Bought a used '08 Taco in Jan, just got a preliminary recall notice for the spiral cable. Toyota will send out second recall notice once they get new parts or figure out how to fix it.
