Well looks like I made the naughty list.

 

[pDubs]

Thanks, just checked and mine needs replaced.

 

[CavPro]

For the heck of it I put my vin# in and it came back : Not Yet.


I'm only half joking.

 

[renau001]

Thanks for the hot tip, I’ll call and schedule mine tomorrow.

 

[GX4SEVEND]

I made the list as well. Gotta call and make sure I get that done as well

 

[PaulB-2006 T4R]

I am clear too, odd that Bayou_Pro & samwhich 2016 TRDPs are included but the 2016 Trails (YellowSnow) are not, at least yet.

 

[DesertFish]

Just checked my 16 Trail is on the list, could be region based.

My 2016 Limited needs it.

 

[EddieV4runnin]

I need it replaced, I’ll probably end up doing it my though.

 

[Moto69Joe]

Thanks. Both of mine are on the list.

You are correct. From my days as a Toyota Parts Manager, they tend to roll big recalls out based on select years or regions. Mostly this is due to not deplete parts inventory supply.

Thanks for the heads up. FYI, I just called the 888 number (8:55pm CST) and was able to snag a Monday afternoon appointment, in case you all don’t want to wait until morning.
:thanks:

I believe they are region based as Bayou_Pro said. From my limited knowledge, it has to do with the environment the car is in, and humidity plays a part. Supposedly it has a higher chance to fail in a hotter/more humid environment so it looks like the South is a higher priority.

 

[4FL]

Yes, i read a while ago that the more hot/humid the environment is, the faster the airbag stuff will get messed up, so those zones will be up first for recall.

Issue is that they go by where the 4r was sold, not by where it is at now, at least that was the issue from last time a read a few years ago.

I am not on the list, yet I live in Miami, but bought my 4r in Virginia.

I cannot imagine how long it will take the dealers here in Miami to replace this, it takes them two hours just to do an oil change, lol.

2016 limited is on th list

Will call for appointment in the morning

Thanks fir the heads up
