So I was driving and a guy in a Tacoma flag me down and ask me what year was my taco .. told him a 06 he told me there's. recall for the headligh cues they burn ? He got his replace for free.. i just was at the dealership couple weeks ago for a trans flush and they didn't mention anything about a recall .. so i went online and I found there was a recalls for the headlight .. even found a post here at TW about the headlight recall but it was coupe years ago .. so i called Toyota dealership had them run my vin number and told me there's no recall .. so can recalls expire? If not what do I do ??

 

It is not a recall. It is a Warranty Enhancement as stated here:
