3.0L V6 Head Gasket Recall Update
Hey guys! Thought I'd share that as of 7-29-2013 Toyota is still doing the recalls on the 3.slo! I acquired a 91 pickup sr5 with every option and 124k on it but with a blown head gasket. I called up with my VIN to check the recall history and the head gasket recall was still open. So check your VIN with Toyota before tackling it yourself!

Did you get some kind of documentation?
Was this info from a dealership or from Toyota Headquarters (TMC)
That campaign as far as I know has been closed for some time now.
My understanding is that a dealership might do it as goodwill, but seems pretty rare now a days.

I could understand honoring a closed frame campaign, probably because its a safety issue though.

I tried my local dealer a few years back and they said no, it's not active. So I guess it just depends, looks like the folks up in Washington are a bit more lenient than in California!

I read too that the campaign was over but I just figured it was worth a shot. Turns out its still going on or they did it as a good will....but ya the regional manager says that there is nothing in that program that says its over and/or they can't do it anymore....
Weird, never heard of the frame recall

I will try the regional office for the southeast tomorrow and see if this is still in effect as I have a 1991 22re and the head gasket is going out on it, so we will see. Can I still drive it until I find out about it. This is my first yota so I will have to get her fixed soon as deer season is upon us.
This site is really cool as you can find out a lot about your Yota.
