For those not familiar with the rear axle shaft recall issued earlier this year, I found this official communication from Toyota were exact vehicle IDs are specified:

(go to http://babelfish.altavista.com for a quick translation)
"...a crack may occur in the Prado's rear axle shaft if it is repeatedly driven on winding roads in the mountains at a high speed, it said, warning that a wheel may come off in the worst case."
I know for a fact that Australian Toyota Dealerships have been very responsive about this recall. Hope this thread helps those who were not aware.
be safe!
