if your dealers are like they are over here they will say the surfs are not included in the recall and you may have to go through Toyota Japan or whoever is the main company over your side of the water

Lookers at Rayleigh gave me a right run around, proper bunch of cowboys. They had my truck in 3 times, sent pictures to Japan, spoke to Toyota GB and Europe, generally tried to avoid doing it. Tried to con me in to paying for an AC gas upgrade. That made me laugh! This was about September.

The best bit is: They called me 2 weeks ago asking for a copy of my log book. They need the serial number to claim back their costs from Toyota GB. I told them where to go
