Recall Announcement dealing with ECU Reprogramming

[LKFSE]

Hello Danny, do you know the range of V/N or serial numbers of this recall?

[ammiels]

I just braved the cold. Under the hood/bonnet on the passenger/right
side is an unglazed sticker to the effect that a Toyota approved
modification was done on 2/12/03 (sic) authority 04TR19.The black
hard-to-read sticker on the driver's door frame says built 09/04. The
car came to Manhatten NY and was there several days befor I picked it up
12/12/03 Check yours. Peace Ammiel

I don't know a range but I will try to call Toyota customer service later on today to try and find out.

Some cars have already had the service done prior to delivery. If you look under the hood on the passenger side you may see a sticker indicating a modification was done. If, on the lower right corner of the sticker, you have a code that reads '04TR19', then the work covered by the recall was done prior to delivery. Got this off the Yahoo! group, which is my source of last resort since it is such a pain to navigate. I'm real happy that mine was done already since my dealer is 30 mi. away and the roads here are miserable, at best, with all the snow and ice lately. Pray ( if your belief system so allows) for an early spring!!

Sorry Jerry, but I'm praying for an ice age. :wink:
