Takata Remedy Notice Received!

Tustin Toyota just got the replacement part and my 4Runner is going back in. Two day turn around time��
See… The dealers are not always the enimies. The dealers will be making a crap load of money off of this recall and they want everyone of these recalls to come into their shop. The technicians will often hurt personally due to the low pay of the recall however the service advisors, service manager, and dealership as a whole will profit greatly from recalls such as this. The reason being is that technicians profit only from the work they themselves personally do. Service advisors, service managers, general managers and the dealership as a whole do not get paid simply off of the work they themselves do but rather from the work that the dealership/their department performs. Service advisors and managers get paid off of gross profit therefore they can have one or two technicians performing low paying recalls ( such as this one) but at the same time have many more other technicians performing higher paying work and they are profiting off of both of these jobs at the same time . Trust me I work at a dealer and the dealership does not want to turn these recalls away. They are very much tied down by parts availability and that is a reality. But the fact is these recalls will take time to perform because dealerships have limited personnel and limited parts availability.

I called pretoy here in Tucson just now, checked vin and parts order placed, I'll get a call in a week or two and set up an appt for install. Less painful than I thought it would be so far!
 
Dropped the truck off Friday—when it was scheduled to be replaced—and picked it up today.

Posting a copy of the work order here just incase it will help anyone.

One thing to remember, is that there were 20,500 4Runners included with the June remedy launch. There are about 459,900 2010-11 Corollas, which use the same inflator, included in the June remedy launch. Even if your dealership gets replacement parts, they're not unique to the 4Runner, and you'll be competing with Corollas (and numerous other Toyota vehicles) for replacement inflators.

How do you know it is the exact same part....? Seems like the bag would be unique to the vehicle size... Just using common sense, no specific facts..

He's just trying to kill my hopes of getting my shit fixed in September and finally being able to use my 4runner as it was intended to be used without worrying about a bomb blowing up in my wife's face.

With a very small amount of google, I'm saying your statement isn't true at all.

This has the part numbers, and it looks to me to be vehicle specific https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2016/RCMN-16V340-3128.pdf

This is the 4Runner technical guide showing same part numbers I posted yesterday https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2016/RCRIT-16V340-0232.pdf

Yep, I'm in the same, hopes for September club.

Well, the service advisor at Toyota of Boerne seemed to not BS me around when he said September. Bert Ogden Toyota in Harlingen sucks ass. I couldn't be more pleased with the customer service in Boerne.
 
I finally got the remedy installed Friday. I had to reprogram the radio and reset the clock but bluetooth connections remained in sync.

I talked to my service advisor, and he told me the parts for the 2011's were ready, but in Houston and having a delay on getting them sent out. Hopefully I'll get a notice soon and get this damn thing resolved already.
 
Takata Airbag recall

Had mine done a few weeks ago. Takes about an hour. Prior to that the dealer let me sign a release and park my car in my garage until they were ready. They paid for the rental on a 2017 F150, 4 door, 4X4. I put 8K+ miles on the rental over several weeks.
 
Took the wife's 2008 Lexus ES350 in today at 0730 done by 1400.

We are in zone B.

BTW cost on the invoice was $644



Got mine done today, took about four hours. They offered a rental so I took them up on it for the four hours they had mine. I was notified several months ago parts would be available in December, so they are about a month ahead of schedule.

The cost on the invoice was ~$1,200. Parts were $600+ for the inflater, labor was $300+ and then some misc. parts. They didn't give me a copy of the invoice that had the cost on it, but I took a quick look.
