[QUOTE="OishiiJPN, post: 1697, member: 2"] Tony, I can appreciate your concern but please understand that vehicle modifications pose a significant risk and additional time to a recall repair that is not covered by Toyota. You can read Toyota's official response to this situation here... [B]Q:[/B] [U]My vehicle has a modified suspension, and my dealer says I should remove the modifications before the Safety Recall can be performed; is there anything I can do about this? [/U] [B]A: [/B]Some vehicles may be equipped with non-Toyota-approved parts or accessories that make it difficult or impossible for a dealer to install the remedy parts for this Safety Recall. Toyota does not recommend modifying vehicles and cannot evaluate how any aftermarket, non-Toyota-approved parts could affect a vehicle's operation. That is why it is best to restore the vehicle to its original condition prior to the remedy being performed. Any cost to do this would are your responsibility. Notwithstanding Toyota’s recommendation, some dealers may be willing to perform the Safety Recall remedy with the vehicle in its current modified condition. If your dealer is willing to do so, you may be charged for labor or parts costs not otherwise covered by Toyota's Safety Recall remedy. Toyota provides the specific leaf spring kit and installation hardware kit and covers 2.1 hours of dealer labor expenses. You must pay any additional charges for parts or labor by the dealer which are the result of the vehicle’s non Toyota modifications. Toyota is not responsible for later performance problems your vehicle may have that are the result of the non-Toyota-approved vehicle modifications. [/QUOTE]
