Head Gasket recall

Nope. Wait til it blows AND warps your block. And then get your free long block, provided the warpage exceeds 0.039.

Had one done three weeks ago...unlimited years, miles or owners. And then I rolled the Runner. When I bought it's replacement I called Toyota to ensure the new one was still elligible. It is...

Just keep an eye out to ensure the campaign (802 in Canada) is still effective. A phone call to Toyota will ensure you're current.

Just noticed yours is a '90. MAKE SURE you call Toyota and ensure it IS included. I think only the later half of '90 is inclusive.

I have a 90 and mine is not included, so definitely check. Mine just blew at 210K miles.

Is there a way to tell by looking at it if it needs replaced or do you just have to replace it?
