BSM failure fixed under warranty- update

OK- My BSM failure was fixed under the certified 1 year 12K warranty.
Here's what the service sheet reads:

Replaced Rear Wire Harness as per TSB-0213-17
FP 82169-04031- Wire, Floor, No. 6

BSM System Inop Code U0233. Found Sensors Failing
Replaced BSM Sensors and Calibrate as per TSB 0063-19
2 of FP Number 88162-04014- Sensor, Blind Spot

Thanks for all the help and info!

 

Did they list the price it would have cost on the repair order?

 

No- they have zeroes next to labor, parts, sublet, etc

 

I would imagine it was not an inexpensive repair.

 

Nice. About 2 months into ownership, my Tacoma's BSM threw a "Master horizontal axis" out of alignment error. Not sure if it was anything I did, or if it came faulty from factory.

 

YIKES! I can't believe this is the price for just ONE of the sensors they replaced! I'

I wonder what the LABOR would have been??
I'm really starting to rethink a 7 year extended warranty for $2K, considering this is the SECOND time there was warranty service on the BSM on this truck. What lies ahead????

 

Anyone know the calibration procedure and why calibration is even needed? The sensors just pop into place.

 

I would assume labor would be $125/HR or more

 

Personally, I would be disabling the BSM (i.e. removing) if it came down to performing the repair out of warranty. Sure, they are nice, but not essential to vehicle operation.

 

Just had both sensors & harness replacement on my truck. 2016 OR with 50k on it. I bought the Toyota 7yr/ 120k warranty as I knew sooner or later the BSM system would fail. These systems cost $$$ to fix. Warranty just paid for itself with this repair alone.

 

I went for the 7 year extended warranty also. Two times already for the BSM warranty repair on this certified 2016 TRD Sport makes me believe there is a high probability something else electrical will fail, and I agree- ONE incident like a BSM failure will almost pay for the cost of the extended warranty.
