Got my notice also today, Maybe Toyota read about it here on Pradopoint first then decided that they should notify owners, so have decided to do the mailoutNew 2015 150s GX 5 seater with floor mats, towbar and a big wish list
Previously a 2004 120s 1KZ GX silver manual with stuff
before that a 1996 RV6 90S with lots of gear

What about the shiney little sticker they put in the door jamb after the other recall? My local dealer doesn't even stamp the service book anymore because "all your service records are on computer."Dave

Haven't received my letter yet, will call Toyota today. I'm a bit worried if they have to remove the bumper as I have just installed the reversing camera in it as well as the trailer plug. Don't care too much about the trailer plug, but I might pull out the camera before the Prado goes in just to be safe. Too many stories of dodgy workmanship by the dealer apprentice.04 GXL - Red Centa dual battery, Alloy B/bar, BFG AT's, Rhino Rack commercial bars x 3, GME TX3540, TJM roof cage, Outback Ideas recovery points, LHS rear drawer, 2" Dobinsons/Bilstein lift, ARB CKMA12 air compressor, CoilRite airbags, ARB 2.5m awning, MCC Dual Wheel Carrier, Eagle Eye headlights with 55w hid lo beam.

^ I'm under the impression they are still making all the new improved brackets owing to demand. I won't get the full tow bar, just the receiver bit? They have to do it for customer service and to cover there rears but it's really no biggie for me. If I towed stuff, I'd go straight to HR but the next owner can do that....not a massive fan of Toyota add on's?? Like in retail I never sucker for the add on's!![SIZE=1]03 TD 120 Grande, L&R weathershields, f&r deflectors, Sov bar Amts rad b.pl, TJM front B.P, Uniden UH7760NB Kaymar LED worklight, ARB 47l, lifestyle rack & Milford C.

Well I have finally received my letter today. Only taken about 2 months since I raised the issue with my local Toyota dealer. They were surprised that I even knew about it in the first place. The power of Pradopoint.

You'll get the letter if your details are recorded against the vehicle at Toyota. If not, you won't.
