Toyota Japan
Toyota in Japan have recalled 340,000 Hilux Surfs, don't know if this will be the same for the 4-Runner.

It may or may not include the 4Runner. Toyota USA should confirm that.

Here's a link to the toyota.jp website list of recalls. The list does not include the N185 Surf (3rd gen).
It does have long list of the N130 Surf (2nd gen) and the Hilux pickups.

Hope this helps.

you can use http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and insert the japanese address http://toyota.jp/recall/2004/1026.html . babelfish will translate the page from japanese to english. apparently the recall has to do with the steering system (relay rod of steering gear).
hope that helps.

"The trouble may cause the driver to loose control, according to the report. Toyota said it also shipped some 40,000 of the troubled Hilux model to Australia but has no plans to recall them "because driving and parking conditions are different" in Australia"
So what about the Surfs in the UK and also the 4-Runners in the US, surely they must be affected, although I'm not sure if Runners are built in Japan or the US.
