cleaning under my 09 access cab 4x4 Saturday and saw the second leaf (driver side) broken clean into. put some tape around it to keep it from falling out. this morning went to the local dealer (Rusty Wallace Toyota) and asked the service manager what could he tell me about the recall.
he said they knew just about as much as us. he said there would be a major recall, but Toyota did not have a fix yet and certainly no new modified design spring.
I looked straight at him and told him mine was broken and I knew it and I was notifying him that it was broken so if anything happened he now was officially notified.
he then told me to schedule a repair and they would change the broken spring pack with what was available today (at no charge to me). he also said that when Toyota finally decides what to do, I would be fully eligible for two new design spring packs also at no cost to me.
If you want it fixed now, I think they key is passing the responsibility of an accident to the dealer.
these guys were fair, but said I would be notified by Toyota, since they have already informed the NTSB that vehicles would be recalled.
just an update, maybe this helps you feel a little better.
