    Re: Sovereign Bar Mount Recall?

    re. the antena ][and driving lights] they told me they move the bar forward about 60cm on a stand. I will disconnect my driving lights and I think that I have enough slack in the antenna cable to pull through that amount. Next Mon will tell! Neil

      Does anyone have a before and after shot of the old/ new mounts? Just to see what the difference is, if any visually.

        Re: Sovereign Bar Mount Recall?

        Ok. I am not the first owner of my Prado but the second. I have an alloy sovereign bar. The car build is 12/05. I never service at Toyota because of the exorbitant cost. Should I be ringing them about this even though I don't have my car serviced there?

          I would ring your local Toyota and tell them you have heard about the recall and either book in there and then to have it done or ask for them to update their records so that you can get the recall letter.

            Just back after having ours done. The new bits seemn a lot stronger. The winch cradle has been replaced too. The new cradle has a beam section built in across the top, has thicker Z profile supports back to the chassis, but only at the top now. The cradle is wider and mounts under the new crush cans, which aren't cans any more. See photos.

              Here's another photo from underneath the front left mount. The bracket at the bottom of the photo just left of centre near the recovery point is new.

                Ok guys this should hopefully clear up the questions re VIN numbers etc. My partners old man works for Toyota Spare parts so i've got the official toyota CSE documents.

                " A total of 51667 alloy bullbars with the following part numbers and hich were sold in Asutralia and installed prior to September 2010 are involved
                PZQ29-60161/60163 - Soverign Bullbar GX, Polished
                PZQ29-60160 - Soverign Bullbar GX, Powder Coated
                PZQ29-60165/60166 - Soverign Bullbar GXL Grande, Polished
                Note Part numbers PZQ29 60164 and PZQ29 60167 are not affected, they already have the new type brackets installed.
                There are approximately 98138 vehicles in the Australian market that require inspection of which 51667 may be fitted with Toyota genuine alloy bull bars.
                Model Model Code Vin Range Sales Period

                RZJ120 BM29J# 00010843-00037177

                This is a NO COST excersise that should that 2.5 hours to complete however may take longer. It DOES NOT affect any other non genuine bull bars. No Accidents have been reported as a result of this condition.

                The CSE will cease on 31st September 2013."

                So in summary if you have a 120 seies with a genuine toyota soverign bullbar, it needs to be fixed!

                        I rang Toyota Aust on their Recall line. The girl who answered didnt know about the recall untill she went away to find out more.
                        From what she said all prado owners will be sent a letter in the next few weeks.

                          Re: Sovereign Bar Mount Recall? Justified!

                          G'day Viewers
                          Had the Prado up on blocks today to remove the radiator protection and Nautilus air horn which are both mounted to the bull bar.
                          Reason being its booked in for the mount recall work next Tuesday.
                          I discovered on close inspection of the mounts that there is a crack in one of the welds, this was right hand side, inner at the bar end or like this-



                          and
                          I only hope they do not damage the UHF antenna coaxial cable in the process of replacing the mounts.

                              Re: Sovereign Bar Mount Recall?

                              Well Troy, they are sure to stuff up! Mine was done today and it is beautifully lined up BUT........ I pulled the antenna lead back into the engine compartment so they had some to play with. So what did they do? They put it all back together with the cable hanging down under the bull bar mount ready to catch any passing stick. They were NOT happy when I told them to fix it [which could have meant unbolting one side of the bar to allow it to be pulled back into place]. After much scratching of heads by 4 blokes they found the mechanic who knew something about antennae - he unsoldered it at the bullbar , pulled the cable back to its right place, and then resoldered it back together- half an hour of labour for 4 blokes they hadn't counted on [ they claimed the whole job had taken 6 hours!!!!!!!] BUT.... that was not the end of the story...... where are my tow hooks? Um ah you mean those big flat bits of steel [Violet specials]. Found. Where are all of the nuts and bolts for them? Found eventually. They claimed they would not fit the new brackets -bullshit - the ones onto the chassis are identical, just new. OH and by the way your foglights and parkers aren't working and weren't when we we tested them before we started the job....hmmmmm.
                              I am glad that I removed the radiator protector before I took it up to them as well as disconnecting the driving lights. And they wonder why we think so little of dealers.
                              So before you take yours in to be done [ and they are a much better design] do the following:
                              disconnect driving lights
                              do what you can about the antenna
                              check that all lights work
                              remove the radiator protector plate
                              tell them you want your tow hooks put back on
                              hope they don't stuff up anything else [ like the bit of plastic cover I suspect is missing from under the guard but can't prove]
                              Tomorrow's entertainment is putting it all back as it was , including moving the radiator again to get those bottom bolts for the tow hooks, reconnecting the driving lights and antenna and refitting the bash plate for the radiator and this is going to re-encted 50000 times over thenect few months. Good luck to all of thopse with sovereign bars. Neil
