Any tuning shops on Nasdaq? Looks like a great time to invest.

What sucks is you lose your Ecutek license and you have to have the ECU bench unlocked: total cost more than a grand. You gotta pay to play.

The service manager from the dealership that sold me the car called me. Apparently my car is not safe to drive. I'm not sure if it's actually dangerous. He has a loaner Avalon for me for until October.

The car is less than 2 months old. I haven't even made a single payment.

Extremely disappointing.

You shouldn't lose your ecutek license, you just need to re-bench unlock.

I got my Supra in May only 3 months ago!!! This recall says Brake assist issue does this mean the car is a high safety risk to drive???? I hope they call me for a loaner as well.

Yep, read this yesterday. What really pisses me off is no call from Toyota dealer. I only found out when this tread started. Also they said they'd send safety recall letter in the mail by October 1st. So what to do for now??????????
The article says BMW will send letters in the mail to the owners but Toyota owners need to call Toyota. WTF

SO what are we supposed to do, not drive our cars until after October when we do the recall??

One guy on facebook said he almost crashed bc his brake booster went bad, he showed a toyota repair order and it was alot of labor to get to the brake booster on the supra.... FML

I'll be mindful of how I start my car at the next track day. :D
WELL, It says even if your booster is fried, your brakes will work but just super hard to press the pedal. lol And you get a few brake cycles before it does that.. I think thats how i am reading it...
