Yep Mines in the recall also lol

Mine is "infected" also, would I still get a letter even though I didnt purchase my hilux from a Toyota dealer?

Yep they'll track you down.

Mines in the recall 07/07 Dual Cab SR5 D4D

Rang the local Toyota Dealer (Newcastle City) had no idea what I was talking about They will call me back (I wont hold my breath).

I'm with Noidea, wonder what else I can get done. Might talk to them about the noisy start up, sounds like a 1980's Daihatsu.

hmmmm.. dont think ill be 'rushing' to get mine fixed.. remember the bonnet recall.. it took the dealers quite a while to get it right.. they stuffed up a lot on the early ones.. Ill wait for a month or two after they send me a letter then do it..

Mine is in the recall too.

What was the bonnet recall, sometimes my bonnet is hard to open, the latch seems to be sticky or something.
its an 05 model.

Mine is also to be recalled...

I will take it in see what they say and do.

I might also get them to do the overnight cold start injector check. I have mentioned the noisy injectors at every service since the 20K one. Will probably just tell me it's normal like always.

the 05 was definately part of the recall.. if you open your bonnet do you have a large black steel plate running across from the striker ? check out the threads above...

Thanks Steve, mine has not had that done yet, didnt notice any cracks so it should be fine till it goes in for this recall.

Since no one else has mentioned it....

Im feeling shafted! (Yes Yes I know.... it's a Dad Joke)

[jcarter]

anyone keen to post some pics of the affected area i should be looking at?

[Hilux Max]

Got abit more info....supposedly the area inquestion isnt the center bearing itself but the crossmember where the bearing bolts into....looks like where the bolts go into the crossmember is actually shearing off the crossmember itself.....

they alsio have two different fixes for it, one for everyday drivers and one for "extreme condition" drivers...not sure what the differences are yet.

[Alby]

So do we have to nominate which category we fit in to ???

[ScotsMan]

yay i get to take my lux back to the toyota muppet garage ,i wonder what category the sas'd lux will fall into !

[jakelux]

Mine is affected May 05 build. This could explain the clunking sound I've had for a few months??..
Could anyone take a picture of said area so we can have a poke around?

[Macca]

Sounds like the cross member is the problem as mmaaxx said.
Corrogations and cattle grids, droping a shaft does not sound like something I want to do...
What are these vehicles doing off road anyway, must have come as a suprise to Toyota.
But hold on corrogations and cattle grids are on the roads arent they
Takes more than some coconuts to break them but the seem to still break Bugger
Now if they can fix the brakes, hand brake, clutch and possibly strut design we will be getting somewhere.

Thanks for the heads up, I 'think' I am OK

Mines infected also, will wait till next service in 5000kms and hit them up about cold start rattle as always. Aleady had the bonnet latch recall done and they scratched up my bonnet doing it.
