    I got a notice in the mail stating that the actuator on my 2012 v is covered for 10 years or 150k miles. Since my 9 year old v is only half way through the 25k mark, I feel that I have no need to worry.

    You can find all of the service campaigns that apply to your car under the SC tab on TIS, as described in this post.

    The Toyota Owners' site might also have access to the information somehow; I don't know that for sure.

    Pump was running every 10 seconds.....didn't matter if stopped or moving even with engine off.. Always change the trani fluid

    What about brake fluid bleed? you did it yourself? And before filling the transaxle with new fluid you have to clean the filling hole, otherwise dirt and other contaminants will get inside and could cause damage. I was thinking about changing mine since it's over 100,000 miles and still have the original fluid. First need to buy a pump for that.

    You remove the top bolt first on the trani....... you just let it run out.....the bottom.... use long hose connected to a funnel then add fluid until it runs out the top hole. I used techstream to bleed the brakes.

    Good, that sounds very simple, obviously the car needs to be leveled.

    And how much you paid for techstream? and was that the first time for you using it? i think that installing the brake actuator myself and paying for techstream to bleed the brakes is going to be less expensive than letting the dealer do it for me.

    The software was 20.00 or less I think on ebay. You need the USB to Jack under the dash cable.
