Question for the vets here. I have an 07 Cam with the 2gr-fe V6. I seen the list of the TSBs for it. The ones I am concerned about are the tranny ones. I will have links to each one I am talking about down below. I purchased the vehicle used from a Luther Mazda stealership and they did not give me any info on this. I had the vehicle immediately inspected and they said the only recall sticker they could not find was the vvt-i oil hose or something which on Toyotas service website that work was completed. But I do not see that the tranny issue was ever looked at on my car nor do I know 100% if it is affected with this TSB. I will post my vin below so you can help me out as well.

"vvt-i oil hose" I think that's the famous oil line burst, you can pop the hood and visually see it. If they did a good job they will replace it with the new metal oil line, if not than it's still have the rubber oil line (could be the original oil line or the one they claim to have reinforced etc etc etc but still rubber).

And as far as I know only the tech @ toyota can pull up all the tsb that apply to your car using your vin. Toyota website only give you the affected recalls.

I have the two TSBs up there and the vvti oil hose has been completed. The other two I am not sure of are listed above. I do not understand the way they describe to tell if your vin is affected or not. Thought maybe someone could chime in and let me know.

I had the flare but I took it to the dealership and had them upload new software/calibrations to the ECU and so far no issues. I did this about 3 weeks ago

^Did they charge you anything ??

cp44 · 09-02-2011, 07:07 AM

nope. it was free of charge, the TSB states its covered under the 5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty
