actually i think its technical service bulltein but same differance.. basically a problem that toyota is aware of and has a fix for, but doesn't require a vehicle recall.

Just so you know...

The TSB (technical service bulletin) says on it that the problem is "not applicable to warranty".

but glad to hear dealers are covering it for you guys :top:

yes this is true they said it all depends on the circumstances like if you have a brand new truck and half the paints missing off the flare not if you have and 05 with 20k on it or something like that

I finally just ended up taking mine to one of the local shops and getting him to touch everything up when he replaced my front bumper cuz some idiot in the parking lot hit the crap out of me, but anyways he did a real good job and hooked me up with a tint :biggrin:

Also didn't have to deal with the stupid ass dumb as sh#t dealership effers
