Recall #SSC40L Recieved Today?

What is your build date, and delivery date?

 

hmmm. maybe they couldn't get your address or something?

along that line, are you the original owner? sometimes owner transfers take a lot of time in their database...

otherwise, i do not know!

 

your's should also be in the "hood seal recall group" as well, did you get the recall for that? if not I would contact the dealer that your going to be taking it to for the brake light switch and get them to check your VIN for all recalls outstanding. There were 4 as far as I remember for early 2k4's.

 

<_< Likely, you're also eligible for the SSC-50P ECU update (adresses the rare ICE quitting at highway speeds). In January (15,000 mile service), I had the SSC-50P and brakelight switch replacement done. In the ~800 miles since I haven't noticed any difference in performance or mileage.

You might want to log-on to NHTSA at www.nhtsa.gov and check on your '04 for TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) to determine which have (or have not) been done for your serial number. My '04 is completely up to date except for the reprogramming of the fuel gauge and replacement of the odometer/speedometer elements, and the fuel tank filler pipe EL010-04 revised 8/24/04. That was too much disassembly/re-assembly for the questionable improvements. Many who had that done reported no improvement in fuel gauge accuracy.

At ~16,000 miles, we still are very pleased with "Ernestine" our Prius. She is named after Lili Tomlin's telephone operator character due to her ridiculous, sometimes completely unrelated responses to my verbal requests. Like I may say "Go Home" and she responds "Showing BarberShop Icone" - or I say "Single Map Mode" and she responds "North Up Mode." I view this more as entertainment than irritation.

 

I also got this letter last week. I'm the original owner and my address hasn't changed. I can't really remember if I had this done or not, I'll have to check with the dealer ... but I might have already been notified & this second letter could be a fluke. Or maybe I wasn't notified & just assumed that I wasn't in the VIN range for this recall. Hmmm ...
