I think I spelled that wrong...

they have had the recall for the 4runner for a long time that i know of..

Victor · 01-12-2008, 01:13 PM

had it done today. i couldn't pass up a free alignment.

Defnsman · 02-04-2008, 08:39 AM

Got the recall done over the weekend at Town and Country Toyota in Charlotte, NC. I was in and out in under 2 hours. Jeremy, the service adevisor I had, showed me the alignment specs after all was set and done and sent me on my way. Free alignment and no attempt to sell me a bunch of crap, definitely the best dealership experience I've had.

94svt50 · 02-23-2008, 01:49 PM

The relay rod actualy broke while I was driving down the road. Only going about 35mph when the truck just begin to drift to the left and there I went, gracefully scraping along a row of trees.

oilfieldtrash · 02-26-2008, 03:59 PM

i got this recall in the mail about 2 weeks ago...
Is the recall for 3.0 head gaskets still covered?

tc · 02-26-2008, 04:43 PM

depends on the dealer.

Technically, no it's not, but reports are that some dealers are still honoring it for vehicles where it was never done.

ulfr · 02-26-2008, 05:29 PM

Uhm, yeah, I felt quite bad when I knew of this "fault" in 'yotas...

Aftermath...

I discovered it the "hard way".

nonamer · 02-26-2008, 10:10 PM

Well the vehicle is 17 years old and it hasnt broken. So I dont know if Im gonna go running to the dealership. Im just gonna avoid dry steering from now on.

tc · 02-27-2008, 07:22 AM

read this entire thread nonamer - there are some plusses to having it done ... free alignment and possibly new tie rods, Pitman arm, idler arm ... aside from, well, LIVING! You DID see the picture of ulfr's truck right?

ulfr · 02-27-2008, 09:32 AM

HEY! I'm not dead :'(
.....
Yet!

(It actually moreover happened because of an abuse, but this piece WAS the fault of it, lol)

oilfieldtrash · 02-28-2008, 08:19 PM

gettin my recall on steering fixed tom.

Al.K · 03-08-2008, 07:28 PM

Getting ours fixed/replaced tomorrow.Service advisor said it comes with a complete alignment.Gotta love seven day a week free service.

steverwrx · 04-08-2008, 09:57 PM

Does anyone have a current link to the recall notice? The http://www.mudrunner.ca/other/toyotaSSC.pdf in an earlier post does not work. Thank you.

john rumbo · 05-08-2008, 11:15 AM

i saw you guys were talking about a ball joint issue have freind his balljoints brack just driving down paved roads does any body know about that recall he i believe his truck is a 95 toyota tacoma he goes through aprox 2 sets a year stock with 31inch tires

Ghostduck · 05-11-2008, 11:55 PM

Yep had mine recalled. Got it repaired/replaced in 06.

notjustatoy · 05-14-2008, 03:50 PM

I already had this recall done last year... it was before my lift so i don't know if that effects it or not

mvsbraga · 05-14-2008, 05:55 PM

A couple of years ago I came across a similar recall. I brought my 90 4runner to the Toyota dealer and they replaced the main rod between the steering box are and the idler arm.

Is this the same thing or something different?

SpecialScottie · 05-14-2008, 06:36 PM

I got a notification in the mail about this

dutchboy · 06-28-2008, 10:15 PM

I had my recall notice last summer and took it in. They did a great job on the alignment too.
As far as I know,The head problem isn't covered under any recalls...that I'm aware of. I've also had to have my heads redone last summer due to the head gasket blowing. I talked with the local stealership them about any possible coverage under a recall, but no dice.

92yotapride · 07-12-2008, 12:39 PM

Don't understand why this is coming up now from NHTSA. My steering relay rod was replaced via Toyota recall in Dec 2006. I have a 92 4x4 pickup. Parts were $92.91 and labor was $325.60. Glad it was on their dime, not mine.

On another note why can't I get my idle to change via the idle screw. It has no affect. I have had a dramatic loss of power. Cat is clear and chain is good. Anyone?

Beaniam · 09-25-2008, 01:23 PM

Just found this thread and called the 800# about mine. Looks like it was done in 05. I'm a little disappointed I was hoping for possibly a free replacement idler arm and tierod ends as mine are pretty shot lol. Oh well if anything at least now I'm updated as the current owner in their database if there's any future notices.
