Aug 202411000 mi | The lower air dam and lower bumper cover flew off the SUV at 60 mph. At this time the recall for the bad clips which hold this assembly of plastic under body parts had not been announced. I took the vehicle to my local shop and they ordered new plastic under body parts and replaced them. Upon a dealer covered oil change DCH Toyota of North Brunswick advised that a recall had been issued, that the repair must be redone since the mounting clips had not yet been redesigned when the first repair was done and that I should submit my $700 receipt (from the initial non dealer repair) to Toyota for reimbursement. I did just that and had a check in 10 days from Toyota covering my entire cost. The front lower bumper cover assembly and mounting tabs was replaced free of charge, ultimately twice. |
