Steering Relay Rod Replacement Safety Recall
I'm not the first owner of the vehicle so them finding my address and letting me know is really reassuring of Toyota. While thinking about it I started wondering if anyone on here has actually had the relay rod fail completely. So lets hear it did yours ever fail or did you get it taken care of.

 

I got mine taken care of. took like 5 hours, but it was free.

 

I've ignored 6 notices. My dealer sucks and I don't want to drive to another city.

 

no recalls for 1988, other than the fuel line thing, huh? darn... i want my truck worked on for free.. lol

 

I have that steering rod for cheap if anyone wants it (check my sig)

It was replaced by Toyota, idk when but i have the receipts.

 

do you have a link to the recall because ive had problems with mine

 

What? There is a recall for mine?!

exterior lighting... is that the headlights?

 

yea but i have a 86 4 runner too

 

i have a 94 4runner and the dealership said they fixed it but its now leaking the power steering fluid, it was not before. its little though

 

Thats not the steering rod.

Your either leaking fluid from the steering pump, the llines, or the steering box.

Remember TOyota uses ATF fluid for the power steering, not power steering fluid.

I got a notice, 2 weeks after I wrecked my truck ...

 

Because of the steering relay rod?

 

It is a really cool feeling receiving an invoice after repairs have been done to you vehicle that parts cost $00.00 Labor cost $00.00 and so on. An invoice full of Zeros. What a life.

 

No, because of a cloud O dust and a pissed off rhino...
