Post a Message When you get your Steering Recall Letter

Title says it all. Please post when you get your steering recall letter. Also, what was you experience with the repair at the dealer.

Thanks

Would they still accept an Avalon with 228,000 miles on the odonometer? I recently had to replace the ignition assembly since the peg that goes into the ignition switch broke off. Freaking costed me $240 for the assembly.

Anyone received any information yet on the steering recall?

Thanks
Ken

Not a thing yet. I'm second owner, however, so they may not know me.

Just talked to dealer service department. Siad that recall had not been "released" yet; cannot do anything until that happens and I get the letter. Expects that to happen in next 1-2 weeks.

I'm the 3rd owner, so I don't expect a letter.

I went to the dealer 2 weeks ago. They acknowledged my car was part of the recall, but didn't yet have the parts to perform it. They put me on a list to be called.

They also discovered my car had not yet had a tether anchor recall done. Gotta get that done, since I have 2 carseats in my car.

Second owner - have not gotten a letter. Made appointment Wed; took car in Fri AM; took about 1.5 hours. Overall a pretty good experience w dealership. i am going to try to use Toyota website to provide them my contact info so I can get notified of any future recalls and not have to rely on finding out about them here or thru the media.

I'm an original owner of an '02 and haven't heard a word, but I'll sure check this out.
Thanks to the OP for the heads up.

Did not get a letter, but did have the recall work done while car was in the shop for other work. Takes a couple of hours.....without incident......so far.
