1. Calm down. It's not that big a deal.

2. Read the thread linked below. Continue your conversation there once you've become educated on the SSC.

would you rather they ignored the issue? at least it's a proactive recall rather than a reactive recall...

I was under the impression that the 2006 was not included in this recall. When was yours built? Mine was 5/05, so I am waiting for the mailman.

mmhmm.. it's a proactive recall and it affects most of us, not just the 06 models.

If you don't believe me, take a look at the Nissan recall that's occurring now. SEVENTEEN engine fires have been reported already.. 17! Kudos to Toyota for spotting the problem before it becomes a problem. No company is immune from defects. A lot of people love to use Toyota recalls since Toyota is known for QDR (quality, dependability and reliability) so any stab at Toyota is compliments to themselves.

But then again, it's really nice of them to look upon Toyota so highly.

Or you could just dump it on the used market and probably get back what you paid originally or more, especially if you took advantage of the tax credit. [/b]

There's probably recapture on the tax credit/deduction if you sold within 2 years, so no advantage.

Won't get one. I've had my car 6 weeks. It was built in April '06. Recall does not affect vehicles built after Nov.'05!

Did you actually get a notice? Or have you just now heard about the SSC?
