SRS Recall- 46 Prii nationwide- 2004-06 models

galaxee · 04-18-2006, 10:00 PM

new recall came out today for a whole bunch of cars and there are 46 prii involved. model years are 2004, 2005 and 2006. letters are mailed to the owners as of the beginning of april.

the side or side curtain airbags weren't properly assembled and may not inflate all the way.

if you purchased your vehicle from any of these dealerships, you may be a part of the recall. if you like we can verify your VIN or you can call the dealer and they should be able to pull up the recall and double check for you.

Appreciate the post. Seems by dealer I'm in the clear

wow.. seems every bay area dealer (or a big percentage) is in that list... maybe because we buy the most prius?

Were any of the 2006 models delivered last week? We just got ours from Fox.

Thanks,
Tom

IIRC these are all very early '04 models that are affected..

Betelgeuse · 04-19-2006, 07:53 AM

So, if I see my dealership on the list, is there anywhere I can check if it's my car?

I mean, of course, aside from waiting for the letter; I'm impatient

galaxee · 04-19-2006, 09:57 AM

04 through 06 vehicles are affected.

there was only one from Fox and the VIN ends in 003208. they did mention the possibility that dealer stock vehicles may be a part of the recall. (and of course the spiel about having the work done before delivery, etc etc etc)

i have the master VIN list here, betelgeuse- if you tell me which dealer it is i'll tell you the end of the VIN.

eagle33199 · 04-19-2006, 09:45 PM

Does that list include the dealer that finally sold the car? My dealer told me they traded a model they were getting and didn't need with another dealer to get my car rerouted from the factory... i would assume toyota updated their notes when the car was rerouted, but you know what they say when you assume something...

galaxee · 04-19-2006, 10:06 PM

you'd assume so... but as you said...

if you know your vehicle was transferred from another dealer, you could always just call up the dealer and ask them to check your VIN.

galaxee · 04-19-2006, 10:17 PM

aha! a website to check your VIN number.
