Info on what trucks are covered by headgasket recall??

Can anyone tell me what years of what trucks and 4runners have head gasket recalls, what the recall will cover, and when it expires...


I found a 95 4runner in the local classafieds for 2,500...which sounds really cheap for "only a few dents" and "has a blown head gasket".

I figured it'd be worth looking into if i could just figure out what the deal is with the gaskets.... it would be awsome to get the truck and have it fixed and on the road for only 2,500...

The truck or 4runner has to be a 1990 or later and it can't have more than 100,000 miles on it. You can give the vin # to the dealer and they'll run it to see if your elgible also. If it's deemed that the hg cause block scaring ..., they;ll replace that as well.
Good Luck!
