TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 TOYOTA T100. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V389000 (STEERING:LINKAGES:ROD:RELAY:CONNECTING) IN AUGUST OF 2007. HE IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IN NOVEMBER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT GIVEN THE PARTS TO ANY LOCAL DEALERS AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL COULD NOT BE TURNED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE HAS NOT FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 104,000.

RECALL PART DEFECTIVE IN 1993 TOYOTA T 100 .. WE HAD OUR HEAD GASKET REPLACED DURING THE RECALL AND 40,000 MILES LATER OUR TRUCK IS COMPLETELY DISABLED DUE TO THIS SAME PROBLEM! IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR FOR A PART THAT I SEE BY DOING A SEARCH ONLINE IS BEING REPORTED AS HAVING MANY REPEAT OCCURRENCES WITH CONSUMERS. MY VEHICLE IS WORTH OVER $5000 AT LEAST IF IT RAN THAT IS. THE REPAIR BY THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN DENIED AND CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN USELESS. BOTH BASICALLY SAY ITS MY PROBLEM BUT I FEEL ITS NOT SINCE PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED TOYOTA TRUCKS KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEM ARE STILL STUCK WITH THIS MAJOR DEFECT ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF YOUR VEHICLE. *JB

Dealer Package: 09/24/2018 A watermark has been added to the Dealer Packet to indicate that V06 SSC expired on September 24, 2018. 3VZ?E Head Gasket Special Policy Adjustment. In October 1996, Toyota announced a Special Policy Adjustment that provided extended warranty coverage for the head gaskets of certain 1988?1994 Toyota Compact Pickup Truck, 4Runner, and T100 equipped with the 3VZ?E V6 engine. This Special Policy Adjustment extended the warranty coverage for the head gaskets to 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever occurred first) or 12 months from the date of the owner notification letter. Commencing in Dec., 1997, Toyota will proceed with the Special Policy Adjustment Warranty Extension program by notifying the remaining owners of 1988, 1989 and early production (up to 12/89 production date) Toyota Compact Pick?up Truck and 4Runner equipped with 3VZ?E V6 engines who have not previously received any notification or have not received any head gasket repairs from a Toyota dealer since October 1, 1996. Since introducing this Special Policy Adjustment, Toyota has identified that the head gasket failure condition is primarily limited to a particular production period of the involved vehicles. As a result, for a specific group of the vehicles previously involved in the Special Policy Adjustment, Toyota is now changing the handling procedure to a Special Service Campaign. 3VZ?E Head Gasket Special Service Campaign (V06) With the introduction of the new Special Service Campaign(V06), owners of late production 1990, all 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 up to early production 1995 (1/90 to 10/94 production date) Toyota Compact Pick?up Truck, 4Runner and T100 equipped with 3VZ?E V6 engines who have not received any head gasket repairs from a Toyota dealer since October 1, 1996 will be notified to contact a Toyota dealer for head gaskets replacement.
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
