I have a 93 pickup, and i got a notice about a year ago. I called up my local toyota dealership and asked them about it. They told me to drop off my truck for a few hours and they would replace the recalled part. I dropped it off and when i came back they had replaced the relay, and all the bushings on the entire steering setup. They just gave me my key back and said i was good to go with no money spent. I was happy.

More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.

I just turned my truck in today for the work. After four hours I get a phone call, "Sir your tie rods are shot and we cannot align your vehicle without them being repaired. It will be $395 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> " . My response well I spoke with a few people who had theirs done and they got all new steering linkage. I hung up with the guy and called him 15 minutes later. He said "I spoke with Toyota and they said it was covered I am glad you brought that up." Long story short I am getting the goods. Thank you to all who posted and offered your info with your efforts I saved 400 bucks. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
