Steering Rod Recall Notification

Jukelemon · 06-14-06, 09:40 AM

Steering Rod Recall 50N for 89-95 PU's.

The Toyota database has been repopulated with many, read 1000's, of more PU vins. I called my dealer/Toyota 3 times since I have owned my 92 since last year and inquired about my vin. ALL times they have stated it is NOT part of the recall.

Well, guess what, just received a recall notice from Toyota. Had it completed yesterday.

I asked about this issue with the service mgr, he states that, considering they are recalling almost 1m vehicles, the database is populated at different times.

If you were denied before, MAKE SURE you check again NOW and throughout the year.

I'm the 3rd owner on my 91 runner. I've received 2 notices on it. I tossed them since it now has a solid axle

You should take it in and get your free alignment.....

LOL it would be a good joke to show up and let them look at it. And say "oh ya I forgot about that".....

what years does that recall cover???

I would call your local dealer and give them your vin #. I just had mine redone at Toyota for my 90 4x4.

The (st)dealer wanted to do my front brakes, replace the rotors and such for 810.00. I went to Tire Kingdom for 320.00.

Just called the local Toyota dealership, and since my 91 Hilux is JDM, they can't recognize the vin. They say to call the importer and find out from them if the recall affects this unit or if its already been done. I can't do that, since i bought it privately. Any suggestions as to finding out if mine should be serviced due to this recall? Thanks

PS - doesn't look like anything has replaced at all on the front end...

I used this to find out if and when any recalls where done on my runner. I think it is toyota corporate

Sorry for cross posting to another forum, not sure if that is cool or not.

I have to admit i waited and got mine replaced just after cranking t bars/low profile bumpstops/33's and running the Rubicon trail. They did not blink an eye about the mods but were curious about why I needed an idler arm brace.

Does this effect solid axle rigs, as in my 89 four door hilux solid axle?
