Friend of mine scheduled his BRZ. They scheduled him a date of August 2019. I'm the only FRS at the Toyota dealership closest to me. Mine is already in the shop. We'll see how this goes!
I think this is largely due to Subaru having such a wild amount of cars they're recalling, vs Toyota just having the Scion FR-S to deal with. There's a lot more prep involved to handling a recall with hundreds of thousands of cars, vs just one model that hardly sold well compared to other inventory. There will be armies of trained master techs, sent on missions around the country! Doing justice to the valve springs AROUND THE NATION!!!! THERE SHALL BE NO WEAKNESS, SAID SUBARU! Ok, no more coffee today. |

See question 8 attached. Your damage is completely possible from a failed spring. Quote:

Help!
Question for anyone who has actually had the recall completed...
Would you be willing to share a copy of your invoice from the Dealership showing all the labor breakdown and parts breakdowns? I'm going to fix my vehicle myself and Toyota is refusing to reimburse me for the repairs unless i provide an "itemized and detailed invoice" that "shows all labor performed" and "all parts used". Thanks guys!!! Note: Yes i am new to forum, but i've owned, modified and raced my FR-S for three+ years now. Thanks in advance for the help, guys! |

I just got my letter in the mail yesterday. Called my nearest dealership and was able to get the recall service scheduled for the first week of February. They said it will take a week, so I asked for a loaner car during that time and they said they'd give me one. Just something to push for if your car is on the recall list.
So, I have a customer account with the dealership and their parts department sends out an automated email whenever parts are ordered against your account. This afternoon I got an email saying that my "SPRING VALVE KIT", part no. SU003-08062, has been ordered. After a quick google search I was able to find the PDF with the instructions for the safety recall. You can find it by going to the link below: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/201...8V772-1294.pdf The kit is sold by several dealerships for ~$100, but that's because it's mainly the springs and the seals that get replaced when you access the springs. The work involved with getting to them is pretty extensive. Hopefully this helps! Last edited by CamoFRS; 01-17-2019 at 11:45 AM. Reason: wrote "seals" when I meant to say "springs" |

I found this athttps://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2...g-recall.shtml
Quote:
Called the number listed and referenced WTY-84. They picked up quick and promptly looked up the recall. Ran my VIN and confirmed my car is included, but parts will not be available til Feb. Although it sounds like some dealers have already received their allotment. I then asked if the dealer is required to perform a recall no matter what equipment is on the car because I can't see my dealer (which is the only trustworthy dealer for oem repair I've ever found) touching my supercharged engine with a 10-foot stick, law be damned. That was the only question she had exactly zero answers for. So...I guess it's time for valvetrain upgrades? Face = Wallet = Add-should probly crosspost this in the above referenced cousin thread |

I have aftermarket catless headers, BRZedit tune, and an oil cooler. I wasn't questioned. This really will be something that is up to the dealership I think, but your mods don't make working on the car any more difficult. As long as your air intake isn't some nonsensical tunnel that precariously encompasses the entire front opening, I'm sure they won't need much brain work to remove it.

Could you put your VIN through this Toyota site and let me know whether or not it says your vin is affected? I put mine through and it says it’s clean but I don’t trust the site. Mines a June ‘13 build
