Recall work.

Did you wait for a letter or did you just give them a call? I got a auris hybrid last time the did a service, fingers crossed for a GT next time

 

WKB in Chichester. I have not had many dealing with them...yet. just a service and fixed a Bluetooth issue so far.

 

sounds like y'all get better service. i called my dealer and they said both my cars were on the steering shaft recall, but they had no parts yet, so i should just wait for the letters.

 

thanks for the write up bp, i hope things go as smoothly here, altho i don't expect loaner, valet or safety check. and collecting the car will not happen.

 

Mine is due in on Monday! In Bristol

 

I phoned this morning and they booked me in for tomorrow.

 

I shall do, I phoned this morning after checking on the website about any outstanding recall work.
I didn't ask for a courtesy car as I work 3 mins down the road, so a car doesn't matter. Although the did offer free WiFi and standard tea and coffee, the said the work should only take 45 mins

 

How long are these recalls good for? I plugged my VIN into toyota's website and both these items are in recall for my 08 prius. I currently have 60k miles on it and would prefer to get to 100k miles before i bother with these items. So will these still be available to be done two years from now or is there a time frame in which it must be performed?

 

Dropped my car off this morning and just got a call. Apparently there are two possible fixes for the steering problem, one requires a new bolt or something similar and the other needs a new part. Mine needs a new part so won't be available until tomorrow as they don't keep it in stock. Glad I got a curtsey car! shame its a yaris!

 

I had thought by buying the last year of the model I could avoid recalls with the hope that bugs would have been found and fixed in earlier years. I was wrong. Sigh.

 

Well I'm now on day 2 without my car. Apparently they are having a few problems with the part and now need to replace something else it connects too as they think they may have damaged it while trying to change the other part.

Glad I'm not paying for this!

 

I vaguely recall reading something about a recall a week back that only affected USA cars, but this isn't it, is it?

So am I affected in the Netherlands?

Edit, just googled and supposedly we are affected and we get a new waterpump. But haven't heard from Toyota... Not sure they 'know' me, as I haven't had it serviced yet (waiting for the mandatory MOT which is free with a service, and costs ~50$ otherwise)
