Who knows maybe when it's brought it they don't have to do anything, then again maybe it's a ploy to get you if your car needs repair.

Not to be argumentative, but that sounds pretty cynical. I doubt any manufacturer would go to that length to attempt to get paid work from a customer.

It sounds cynical but it happens, the world of cars and repairs is, as you know not full of sugar plums and gum drops. The customer goes in for a recall or something of that nature; were told they need to fix, a & b. Free recall, is money for the dealer, or mechanic.

I get it. Personally I have never encountered a recall with Toyota that ever ended up with a dealership saying, "oh by the way". I have dealt with plenty with GM and Ford as well and yet to experience that. I have seen that type of behavior at a mom n pop shop, but never a dealership. All it takes is a phone call to report it and they will be investigated.

Last that I will say of that. Don't want to continue to derail the thread.
