Prado recall

Hi all,
Just got a letter from toyota about a recall on our 97 prado,
apparently the rear axle shafts could develop cracking and under severe load break.
They are going to fix free of charge new axles bearings etc
I reckon this is pretty good service as our prado is a import and at a guess is most likely a grand or so's worth of work.
Thanks Toyota.

Maybe if they built them properly in the first place they wouldn't have to recall them :wink:

Can't remeber when a nissan 4x4 was recalled :wink:

I guess they haven't built a nissan with enough power to ever put the drive gear under any pressure :lol:

So have Nissan recalled all the dodgy ZD30 motors :lol:

Had my prado done a whilst back, took em 6 hours apparantly as they couldnt get one of the axles out....

Had mine done a few weeks back. Nice to get a free rebuild of the axle (seals and brgs and oil

).

Was around 1500 dollars for the job but free because of the recall.
