Toyota Announces Voluntary Safety Recalls of Certain Camry, Venza and Tacoma Vehicles

I got the recall in the mail the other day. Mine actually shit out like 2 weeks after I bought it. Already was repaired.

 

I hope this is true. My steering wheel radio control back lights only work when my steering wheel is not centered. Would be nice to have them fixed for free.

 

ok ill let you know, i asked them if its going to be a different part and toyota (meaning manufacture) doesn't have a new different part, they said they've done a couple already who's lights were already on and its the same part, but i will ask the parts manager tomorrow wen i see them if mine is the old one and if they are even coming out with a new one, going in at 7:30 tomorrow morning

 

I had mine done yesterday. The dealer called the tech line to confirm the part they had was the correct one and it was. I asked what happens if the airbag lights comes on again for the same reason and they said they would preform the recall again for free.

 

ok so i just have to wait for a letter? 07 taco. my light is not on tho. about that. i “think” it is staying on just a tad bit longer when i first start the truck but it goes off.

edit: do you all think i will have to get it done where i got my truck? it came with a life time warranty from there. the guy that owns that dealer owns a warranty company or what every and all the cars/trucks new and used come with life time warranty.

 

You can get recalls and original warranty repairs done at any Toyota dealership.

 

That's good to know cuz wen I go back to pick up my truck I was gonna ask
but she couldn't.tell me if it was a new part, wen I pick it up ill ask the part manager
There's 3 recalls on mine there doing, the airbag, pedal chop mod and something to do with the trd wheels even though I don't have trd wheels there gonna look at it to see something about the tpms sensor I believe

 

Dont take any chance, call toyota to register your truck. Or visit dealer

 

A pdf of this recall is attached.. My girlfriend sent me this today. I have no idea where she found it. She was interested in looking up recalls for her Camry and came across it. It seems Toyota is preparing for the recall & the notice states there's only reason to bring it in if the airbag light remains illuminated. They are still working to design parts for the recall service...

 

The .pdf is available at the Toyota recall site.

I would say that if your airbag light is on then it it's a definite safety issue and you should get the recall done as soon as possible. If not, then you can go in whenever -- there won't be a time limit on a safety recall.

 

This is what the owners website says when you register your vehicle. A fix is being designed for this isssue. So im going to wait for the new part, my light isnt on....yet.

 

i know that. i usually get all my work done at dealer. but there is a dealer 3 miles from my house. but the dealer i got my truck from is like 25 or so miles away. it’s easier for my to go to the one that is closer. but i know for a fact warranty work has to be done at the dealer i got it from for it to be under warranty. i can’t do warranty at any dealer because my life time warranty is thru the dealer i got it from.

 

So, in Toyota's Recall FAQ section here: http://toyotanewsroom.com/releases/...a+Steering+Wheel+Spiral+Cable+Assembly+Recall

It says you will be rembursed if you have had the spiral cable replaced before. I am so glad they have decided to right this issue, and in a very nice manner.

 

Toyota is recalling 495,000 certain 2005 to early 2009 model year Toyota Tacoma vehicles sold in the U.S.

Checked with my dealer yesterday...seems this may only trucks with a 9 wire cable(no steering wheel control)SR5, not a 12 wire cable(steering wheel controls)TRD
Mine is SR5

 

Don't need a warranty for a safety recall.

 

Not sure if this is a double post or what? I read up on this like two days ago so I figured I'd post on it.

Yes. A recall is in the works.

 

I would think that Toyota would have strong words with an official dealer who told customers that they must come back to his specific shop for recall repairs or that he would void their extended warranty.

 

I guess while I'm getting my airbag cable recall done I can ask them about doing the one for the leaf springs.
