I'm asking for clarification if not getting this recall completed would prevent one from renewing their vehicle registration in Ca. My wife has an older yaris that was affected by the takata airbag recall and I'm pretty sure I renewed the registration while the recall was out but before I got it taken care of.

If that was true, then why did they make a recall after 5 years? Not all of the cars have such a high mileage, but most of them don't have a very low mileage either.

Primarily I just meant that assembling these parts isn't that difficult, its primarily just time-consuming and a matter of having the correct tools. Heck, reading through the instructions, I'm pretty sure I could do it in a fully equipped shop and I definitely qualify as a local yocal. They are also requiring (or maybe its recommending) that it be done by an appropriately trained and skilled craftsman. In the end though, I know different people have different levels of comfort with these things. In the end (at least in my case) we're talking about a $12,000 car at this point so I can only expect so much.

Guess I was way wrong. Notice says California owners have to get it done to be CARB compliant. Toyota is required to supply CARB with a list of cars not done. So yea, it looks like you will not be able to register it you don't get it done. I guess it didn't matter with airbag recall because parts arent smog system related. |

Well there is the option to move to "the other 49" before you registration expires...

If you ever sell your car and not have had it done, It may turn potential buyers away as it would put having the recall work done on them.

If I decide to take it in I'll give the dealership a few months or a year to get some experience doing the recall. Yeah, agree, what are the chances of my engine surviving the recall work without at least a leak - ?? |

I go back and fourth about having the work done or not. On one hand, why mess with a good running engine - if the valve springs were that weak, wouldn't they have gone south by now? On the other hand, I wouldn't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere on one of our driving adventures and the engine go bam! - Or, get dinged on trade in because the recalled work hadn't been done - Or, give the car to my oldest granddaughter, knowing that the recall work hadn't been done - humfrz |

I am seriously fucking livid about the California "you can't register it unless you have it done" bullshit.
Makes no fucking sense, let me sign a release form that says if the engine pops it's my responsibility because I didn't get the recall work performed. I registered the car this year, why can't I register it next year? Nothing will have changed if I don't get the ridiculous valve spring recall work performed.
