Any updates on this recall? In my search of buying a RC 350, I found 2 beautiful cars that were included in this, and when I asked the salesman about it, he pretended to not know anything.

When you say ". . . he pretended to not know anything," you make me wonder what gave away his prevarication? How did you know he was pretending, as not everybody, not even all salesmen, know about all the recalls?

I asked as it was on the CarFax. He sounded clueless to the matter. So I assumed he did not know. I then did a very light search on Google and saw nearly 2 million cars were impacted.

My thought process was if he is selling this brand exclusively he should know, but that is what I get for assuming.

I was told (by a trusted source) that the list from Toyota will probably not be completed
until May or June. And, it might be longer than that, being everyone is dealing with this pandemic
crap going on. We deal with 2 Japanese companies at my job (not related to auto industry) and everything is
behind/delayed because of it.

Brought my car in for a roof rattling issue and they will order the parts for this recall and perform it at the same time. Thanks for this thread.

called Monday to make the appointment. Arrived today at 07:30 AM for the appointment. Got a Loaner and went home. As soon as I arrived home, they call me just to tell me to bring back to loaner because the part is on back-order and won't be there until next week! I was sooo mad. Soo will be waiting for them to call me sometime next week.

I was trying to renew my registration but it was blocked by the recall. I completely forgot lol.

I have an appointment on April 3rd and I requested a loaner.

For those of you that had the recall done, how long did it take? My car has an Intake, PPE Downpipe (catless) and full Invidia exhaust (catless), I hope they turn a blind eye to all of this lol.
