NHTSA Recalls (Aug 3, 2021) - Remedy Available

[felcrum]

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.

Update: Remedy Available. The service manager informed me that my car will be ready on the 20th. I doubt it. My vehicle has been at the dealer for 12 days.

(Unrelated side note, the Avalon is trash)

Anyone else heard a remedy is available?

I was just told yesterday that there wasn't one, so curious if the information just haven't been circulated widely yet.

Toyota's website say it's not available yet and projected to be available in October.

I think they realized they goofed by giving you a rental car basically indefinitely and they want their car back.

My toyota dealer says no Remedy available yet.

As of 40 minutes ago, received an email saying remedy is available. Owner notification listed as not till September.

I’m glad to hear this problem will not occur to anyone before October.

There is no recall announced for the Japan market.. only in the USA (?) cause we’re always looking for opportunities to sue someone..?

I have to ask, who here that's tuned plans on getting this recall remedied by the dealer? Myself have no braking issues but no way am I just going to give it up unless I'm forced to (which is that even possible and any negative repercussions for not doing it?).

I'll probably do it when the time comes but I do have an email out to my tuner @visconti to see if I can bench unlock post the recall update.

I wonder who starts our cars by pressing the push start button more than once? Lol

I was told if you press the start button 10x fast that it puts the car in Ludacris mode..... 978 Torque and 1100 WHP....


jk lol

Remedy available, my SA just called me today. Also told me to expect my ECU to be locked. I said no problem, I’ll just get it bench unlocked. He said, “nope, Toyota is shutting down all ECU tunes.” Great.

John Visconti responded stating that I would just need a bench unlock post update.

Well the upside is that full screen Apple CarPlay dropped with S18T-21-03-530. From the remedy notice it looks like they’re flashing to S18T-21-07-519 so maybe full screen CarPlay for all?? ?
Consolation prize for having to reflash

I'm now highly suspect of anything this guy says. Because Toyota has nothing to do with the ECU locks. It's a Bosch thing. This thing will be able to be unlocked/flashed sooner or later if not immediately with a bench unlock.

Confirmed here as well, Remedy is available.
