Current Recall

[Ted]

I brought in my '12 Corolla S in for the 'Heater Relay' recall. From the time I went in until I left was 45 minutes. I was told by the Service Manager that what they installed would allow the heater to work right away when the car started up on a cold morning.

I have not heard of this recall, is this for all 2012 corollas?

I don't have the notice that was sent but as I recall it was for a few years up through 2012s manufactured in the US. The parts were left out and the recall is to put them in. They inspect the car to see if it needs the parts. I received a notice in the mail last week.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it.

Last month, Toyota recalled some vehicles including Corolla. The automaker recalled 2.5 million automobiles in the U.S. alone. The recall was over a faltering master switch that could cause a fire in the driver's side door. Another 5 million models are targeted in other countries around the world.
