Prado Recall

OOps, forgot to give the link:

I think your a little late.......and over reacting a little.

As a Prado owner I received the letter over a month ago, with the same warning....called Toyota where the car was already being serviced and it they were already in the process of inspection and replacement. Which is why you should advise Toyota Australia, or your respective make's manufaturer, whenever you change address, as they have no visability of individual dealer records.

Toyota did pay down the "catastophic" potential if this problem occured. The re-call was as a result of a problem during manufacture not a design fault, so perhaps your assumption of the problem is a little off track. "The sky isn't falling chicken little!!!"

My Prado has proven time and time again off road that it is not a domestic taxi.........showing up some of those "other" 4WDs.

Your tone and language only confirms why the original uneducated and poorly thought comments that were placed in your original post.

If you are annoyed at Toyota's manufaturing or design ethicthen why not contact them..............

Much better to have a manufacturer that has the guts to do the recall than have one who won't.

The ball joint cover and ball joint replacement were the only two recalls in the 90series Prados. Typical Toyota reliability, and one of the best desert vehicles around.
