    When I asked my dealer about this when I scheduled my 5k service, they said they had to order the part and it would take 10 days or so and they would call me when the part was in, to schedule the repair.

    Yes. That's why I stated this is for "prior years Prius."

    But I will bet you a box of donuts that the Gen4 is going to have another recall... Sooner or later.

    I should've bought that Scion iA. :LOL:

    Maybe a 30 year old Corolla, but they're all similar in complexity now.

    Sounds about the size that my old college roommate had for his papers :cool:.

    He collected every Wall Street Journal and Local Paper for 7 months. Pile got to 7 feet high before the other roommate and I loaded up my Jeep and found the nearest dumpster ;).
