Worried Toyota owners may wonder whether the fix Toyota has implemented is a significant mechanical change or not. Autoblog has an enlightening post that follows one of Toyota’s technicians installing the new reinforcement rod step by step.
For the gearhead or the worried owner, it is a unique look at how a recall process works at the ground level. One interesting note that we hadn’t confirmed elsewhere was that this dealer has received parts to fix only Corollas at this time. And it looks like it has a backlog already waiting.
We advise owners of recalled vehicles to call their dealer now and try to schedule service to avoid longer waits down the line.
