Originally posted by adrian5800 View PostI'm told by the service manager at my local Toyota dealer that Toyota are currently reviewing the CSE on the deteriorating dashboards, having replaced some over the 7 year limit on a pro-rata basis there *may* be a possibility that vehicles older than 7 years *may* get full warranty on P&L. Nothing in writing obviously and we'll have to wait and see. I didn't get the usual denials of a problem and talked at length with the guy regarding the amount of failures appearing on the net and the recall in the US of the melting dashes. Then again could also be BS from this guy too.
Get yours to a dealer for inspection if you haven't already and lodge your details and VIN.

Anyone know a Sydney dealer familiar with this?Last edited by ejukated; 17-01-2016, 03:15 PM.

***STOP PRESS***
I made the out of warranty request at Blood Toyota Geelong. Service manager took photos and video and was not optimistic, said he'd never seen it before.....yeah right!. Anyway next day phone call to say Toyota Australia will replace it free of charge within a week. No issues. I'm totally stoked. The car is 9.5 years old. The crack was over the instrument binacle not the airbag. Worth making the enquiry.

Service manager was happy too because he gets $2500 - 3000 work and gets paid by Toyota Australia direct. As the previous post said Service Book for VIN required and my vehicle hadn't seen a Toyota Service Centre since the warranty ran out. There was no issue with that. Get em in there boys and get em fixed.

It's great to see that some of you are having a win with dash replacements, mine took a while but as I have said I was polite and persistent, never losing my shit with the dealership after all its in their best interest to get it approved so they get the business. The initial skepticism I was copping on fb & here to a degree has now gone due to the fact more people are getting approval, I sincerely hope that everyone who has a cracked dash gets it replaced under warranty. I have since sent Toyota a thank you email praising them for doing what no other manufacturer would do and by standing by their product, especially after thirteen years. That speaks volumes to me, I'm going to keep an eye on this thread with interest and see how the rest of you people fare. Good luck everyone....03 120 gxl 4ltr, tjm t13 bar,illuminator 9" led spotties, oricom uhf, rock sliders, brush bars, toyo open country mt's, tjm bash plates, airtech snorkel, brc comp breather kit, k&n filter, redback extractors, 2" king spring hhd lift kit & tough dogs, roadsafe front recovery points, hilux washer upgrade, rhino rack, sunseeker2 awning & foxwing, maxtrax, redarc dc, dual batteries, 80 ltr engel, titan rear drawers..

As far as I know it's a common problem for 03-06 models , bad materials where used, the same material was used on the Lexus , same ur models, replacing the dash is a huge job, my solution was to just use a dash mat and sticker bomb over the cracks the mat doesn't cover , has worked for me and prevention of the cracks spreading , btw u have no chance from Toyota coming to the party for any help
