Dealers who performed the Suspension TSB

I don't get it. They use the exact same leafs for the SR5 and the TRD. I have an SR5 and it came back exactly one inch higher. Why did your TRD come back 2 inches higher?

 

thank you for informing me of this.

i've never heard of any of it.

is this site > odi.nhtsa.dot.gov < the only place to find this information ?

thank you to all !!!

 

Toyota of Manhattan. Ordered the parts then brought the truck in for the repair. My truck doesnt bottom out under load any more.

 

Milton Martin Toyota in Gainesville ,Ga. NO hassle, no fuss. Highly recommended for the few times I have been there.

 

Superior Toyota
8400 Shawnee Mission Pkwy
Merriam, KS 913-789-4439

Randy Borgman (Yellow Team) helped me out. After looking over my truck and seeing that the spring numbers matched up he came to the waiting area to tell me i could have it done (of course i played stupid and asked him what he was talking about ) He told me they had the springs in stock and could do it today. Set me up with a 09 Camry while they were working on my truck, dropped her off at 900am and picked up at 500pm.

Randy is a great guy! Make sure to ask for him

A TSB is not a recall or a Special Service Campaign.

Our Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) are communications from the manufacturer to our dealerships and are provided to advise our dealerships of additional technical information. They are provided to aid our dealerships in repairing vehicles and to advise of new techniques and any changes in parts or components. They are not an extension of the warranty. They are merely a tool to help our dealerships become more effective in repairing our customers’ vehicles.

If the cost of a TSB service or repair is eligible for warranty coverage, it will be specified in the TSB, and requires that the vehicle be within the original warranty parameters. A TSB does not extend the warranty.

At this time the your Tacoma's leaf springs are beyond the warranty parameters. For this reason, any financial assistance towards the cost of repair remains subject to review. In such cases, Toyota relies upon our dealerships to assist us in such a review, as the dealerships have the ability to assess the vehicle and interact directly with the vehicle owner.

A review of this sort is handled by our corporate contact, the Customer Relations Manager at your local Toyota dealership.

Please contact the Customer Relations Manager of your local Toyota dealership for further assistance

 

Has anyone found a way to get the TSB done after the warranty expires????

 

A cheaper alternative would be to just do an add a leaf kit. I doubt a dealership would help you out after the warranty since most are already hesitant to do it in warranty.

 

Instead of spending 1500 dollars on TSB springs, maybe getting the Toytec ultimate lift and the upper control arms would be a better way to go
the add a leaf should cancel out the TSB springs and I can get the truck sitting level, win both ways!

 

Got it done, already had the TRD Sport 4x4, so I thought I would just get new leafs and that would be it. I got the four leaf spring packs, four new Bilsteins, and an alignment done the same day. Good stuff from RK Toyota!

 

That's funny because that warranty claim will probably get kicked back due to the fact you have a TRD. The TSB for your truck ONLY calls for rear leaf springs as you already had the bilstein shocks. But I sure as hell wouldn't complain about it...lol

 

Thats what I saw on the TSB as well, but then I looked at the invoice and they replaced it all. My 07 only has 4500 miles on it, so that's pretty cool.

 

Anyone know if Toyota would still honor this TSB for a 05 Tacoma 4X4 with 61K on it, Thanks

Rear Leaf TSB just completed on my 2006 Tacoma.
Double Cab, Long Bed Prerunner, 2 Wheel Drive, TRD Sport Package

Toyota/Scion of Newnan (ATL, GA)

Didn't get any grief at all after complaining about the harsh ride with the load in the back. I was afraid that I may not qualify after reading the latest revision to the TSB as it states 4 wheel drives only. However, they said that the Prerunners were still included.

The truck's back end is up about an inch or two after the new leaf springs were installed. Looks much better. Ride is better as well.

Thanks to everyone on this forum for getting the information out. I would have never known without finding this forum!

 

Greens Toyota in Lexington KY. They said they was glad to do it because things are slow and Toyota pays them 4hrs labor to do the work. Calling me with appointment time next week

 

Gladstone Toyota. Gladstone, Oregon

Fixed it right the first time, no questions asked, even had the parts in stock!

 

Any dealers in south Texas who did the TSB? I hauled a load of tile yesterday and had it sitting just about on the frame. Plus it would help with towing my boat too.
