The link directly from Toyota suggests its just right-hand drive vehicles with driver's knee airbags:

Registered my car and got the go-ahead notice in the mail. Just wondering if anyone has had their car done yet?

Im still waiting to be notified about it like they said they would, otherwise I'll bring it up during my service in Oct. Also be a good time to bring up the power steering knocking sound over bumps too (not that that particular issue has a fix yet)

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but once the TSB is complete is there a record anywhere on the car? A sticker on the door pillar etc?
Just bought a MY15 model that is on the list and I want to know if it has been done. Michael. |

Minor update: I contacted the hotline, they gave me a reference number to call my local dealer with who has the record of which cars have been done. Strange that the recall hotline has no record of compliance by VIN? Anyway, contacted local Toyota Service who advises that although my VIN is within the applicable VIN range, it does not apply to my specific car. I guess I'll just have to take her word for it then!
On a side note, MAN are these things fun! Love my new car... |
