The recall on some 4Runners is now no longer a recall?

I received a letter stating my 2019 had a recall. Now upon checking online, I cannot see any traces of a recall for my vehicle. I take it the letters were sent out prematurely and some 4Runners are now excluded?

It's weird. Toyota did an update a while ago adding some new vehicles while taking some off.

My 2019 SR5 was originally on recall and then after the update it was off the list.

Interesting. Thank you. I didn't know of that change. I wonder if we will be receiving another correspondences detailing our removal and why. Would seem the right way for them to go.

I received one the other day and had the same experience....that my 2014 did not have any recalls. I called Toyota and it turns out it was for my 2004 which was totaled a year ago, and which the recall was already installed. The Toyota rep said once I'm on the list, I'm always on the list and will keep getting any new recall information.

Has anyone check the NHTSA?

Manufacturers are required to send out recall notices to the last known registered owner. Unless something was submitted by the wrecking yard, you would still be it. I am a fleet manager, and when I get notices of vehicles we no longer own we submit a form (usually part of the recall notification letter) stating that. Sometimes the change of ownership is missed, or sometimes it went from us to the auction and then it's sitting at a dealership so no new registration has been done.

What the rep said might be true, but if Toyota follows the rules, you wouldn't be on the list any more IF there was a change of ownership shown.

Yes. It shows ZERO. Prior it showed 1.
