    I had SSC 60C - Steering Intermediate Shaft Replacement - done in 2006. Now I've been notified that they want to do it again under C0T - Steering Intermediate Extension Shaft. It looks like there are different symptoms, but no detailed information was sent to consumers for either bulletin. I'm going to call a dealer tomorrow, but wonder if anyone knows the scoop.

    C0T is the third time my 2004 steering column has been opened. Besides C0T and 60C, I had to replace my Intermediate Shaft three years ago at my expense. I have opened a case with Toyota Customer Relations to get my $890 refunded.

    No. See http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/jaxrs/download/doc/UCM431107/RCMN-12V537-6789.pdf from Recalls Documents | Safercar.gov | NHTSA. I've posted links to the recall documents in multiple threads relating to the recall but it seems people keep missing it.

    Thanks -- it looks like I don't need it, based on VIN. I wonder why they would send me the letter, when my VIN is in the letter and it's n/a. I wonder if, when 60C was done, they might have installed a bad shaft, now requiring C0T? I'll call the dealer today.

    I searched on Something like "Safety Recall C0T" but didn't get any hits. Maybe I was too restrictive.

    Update: Oops, my bad. I misread my VIN when I compared it to the range in the dealer letter; I'm going in Tuesday for the fix.
