Taco/Tundra question re recall


Anyone know the poop on the rumoured upcoming recall on Tacomas' and Tundras' ball joints? A short item in the major Sacramento newspaper said a manufacturing defect was causing "pemature failure in some vehicles"????? and to expect recall notices to be sent in June.

You will receive your notice by carrier pigeon. It will arrive about five minutes after you breakdown in the wilds of Baja.
You must return the vehicle to a certified dealership--in the United States--for repairs.

Thanks for the shirt.

No problem, just call two friends in the USA and have them bring the parts:

4Baja: I assume that means only those with matching numbers will get the recall???? or will all of us get it and have to bring the unit in for a match?
