    Lots of them have been sent out. We have been doing quite a few per week. Painless, just get it done. Haven't seen any problems because of it.....

    I got my truck done this weekend, the letter led me to believe the entire exhaust and cc would be replaced. After getting the work done, it appears that all that was replaced was my cc. Did the dlr do me right..? I posted a tread on the 5 lug board, lots of views but no replies. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/exhaust-recall.412102/

    Have not seen a broken up cat during this recall. I've done about 20 so far. Dealer did what was they were suppose to.

    I checked at my dealer and he said my truck wasn't part of this recall. I thought it covered all 2014 2.7s??

    mine started rattling back in August about 25k miles. They replaced it back then. When I got this recall letter in December, I went to my dealership and they said they will replace it again with the new CAT. Took 8weeks to get the parts, but dropped the truck off last night and got it this morning.

    Had mine done a few weeks ago. Took the dealer a week to get the parts in. Had an annoying rattle that popped up. I knew it came from the exhaust and assumed it was a heat shield. Rattle was fixed with the new parts.

    I brought mine in to the dealer two months ago for them to look at. Was told I'd receive a call when the parts arrived so the work could be performed. Haven't heard a word since.

    call the parts dept of the dealer and ask them how far you are on their list.
    mine took about 7-8 weeks after i had them look at my truck

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    What models/years are affected?
