I was just advised by Toyota today that my 94 4Runner has had a head gasket recall in the past and that they have attempted to fix this problem three times. Does anyone know about this?

Thanks for the reply, but I know all that info. What I am asking for is a recall sheet or information regarding the recall because I don't want to have to pay $1000 for this myself. Does the $10 download give me this info? Thanks again.

This is what it says it covers.

TIS contains all of the product support information necessary to maintain, diagnose, and repair vehicles manufactured by Toyota and marketed in the USA. As a general rule, model coverage begins with the 1990 model year with some information,[color:"blue"] like Technical Service Bulletins, available back to 1987.

i have the same animal (94 runner, 3.0 v6) and if you call Toyota with your Vin# they will look up in their record if your rig has ever had the gasket RECALL replacement service. If it has then you're out of luck. if it hasn't i believe they will arrange the service to be performed at your local dealership service shop. i had the same problem and unfortunately my runner had already undergone the recall service, therefore i was not eligible to receive the service as part of the recall program.
good luck

Well, I am waiting for the warranty to go through even though the work has been done 10 years ago...the prob. is toyota has re-done these head gaskets three times trying to fix the prob. Mine was done when they could not figure out that the block and/or heads were warping and needed to be milled. That was not done! So I am hoping that they decide to warranty this defect and fix my 4Runner again because it was not done right the first time.

I will let you all know what happens.
