head gasket recall questionJSchad2000 08-19-2005, 11:28 AM Does Toyota still fix head gasket problems for free. I am asking because I was at an auction yesterday and there was a 1990 4x4 4runner 3.0 with a blown head gasket(water in the oil at least). I thought about buying it and having Toyota do the work for free. The truck sold for $1000. rotarex 08-19-2005, 12:45 PM maybe i got mins recalled yesterday when i was at the dealer, but my gasket is fine or so i think but i guessim gonna do it for free Does Toyota still fix head gasket problems for free.
