GR86 Recall

Unless the master tech was in 2 weeks ago? Though I really don’t understand why it would need a master tech, presumably they just plug a laptop in the OBD port and enable the DCM module.

Possibly, check with Paul, he sorted me out
 
Has anyone had issues with getting their dealer to do the recall? I was first informed my car didn't need it, then that they will get back to me to check (when I challenged them on showing as active on the GOV website), and when I chased it up again a couple of weeks, I was told they are unable to carry it out at the moment, without specifying the reason.

Is this just part of the Toyota ownership experience that I wasn't aware of?

I was booked in for it a couple of months ago. They phoned me the evening before it was booked in and said "no need to bother, turns out it was done before delivery." I said "ok cool!", but my car still shows as having an outstanding recall against it. I think someone might have confused the ECU brake recall thing (which we think was responsible for the cars being delayed before delivery) and this recall for the SOS module thing. When I chase them for an update on the damage mine is having rectified, I might ask them to double check.
 
Same, booked in for recall with other stuff; they said it was done before it came to them.

Still showing a recall needed on mot check. 🤦‍♂️
 
Had the letter a while back, also the showing recall on gov website.
I attempted to get booked this week with the online team to get it sorted. They insisted that it was not necessary, and that the system shows that it is not needed.
I was pretty pushy asking for some proof or the dealer to stamp my maintenance book but received generic replies avoiding my direct requests

Pretty poorly handled, If i ever resold i'm just supposed to say "dont worry about it, they told me its fine"?

I haven’t got round to getting mine done yet, best guess is there might be another update or recall pending so possibly want to lump them together
 
Just followed up about the recall with the friendly sales rep at my dealer and they advised that "Toyota has suspended it at the moment and they will be in touch if they feel it is needed".

That would explain why all dealerships stopped doing it at some point.
 
Interesting..........
I wonder if the MOT site will stop telling me I have recall at some point ....🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't hold your breath.

Someone, somewhere, who will be in charge of the administration of that sort of thing, will be on strike.

Still have no idea what it actually does.

Is it literally for 999 emergencies or breakdowns too?

GR Corolla / Yaris video from Hagerty (someone posted it in videos if you want to have a look) goes over this. The Corolla apparently starts the call automatically when doing emergency brake. It actually calls Toyota rep first who asks you if you require emergency services.

I have had to stamp on the anchors pretty hard at least once (hazards came on), and it didn't call anyone. So either it's setup differently in the 86, or it just doesn't work and the recall is indeed needed to fix it :D

Sorry, what I meant is use the "e brake" as americans call it, not the emergency stop manoeuvre.
Here:

also, I was sure I heard the lady announce she was from Toyota, but I think I'm losing my mind today
 
"I have checked and can confirm there are no outstanding recalls on your vehicle.

Unfortunately the information on third party websites can sometimes be inaccurate and take a while to update, however our systems show the correct and most accurate information for each individual vehicle.

Any recall work your vehicle has required would have either been carried out by Jemca (Bracknell) or our central depot in Derby prior to you taking delivery"

Seems like the correct thread to ask as it looks like it could be recall related (?) - on my drive home after collecting the GR86 this afternoon, I managed to call 999 twice but not sure how. First time I had just answered a call from my partner, it put him on hold and dialled 999 instead. Second time I turned into my road and it started a call to 999.

Anyone having this problem? Is there a button I'm accidentally pressing? I had Android Auto plugged in and running, I don't believe the problem was anything being pressed on my phone though.

The emergency 'SOS' button?
Having said that, last time I drove my car it dialled my own number somehow and I can't explain this either. Happened twice to me.

Definitely didn't press the SOS button - I didn't even know it existed! How bizarre, think I'll just keep an eye on it and call the dealership if it happens many more times 😊 were you using android auto or apple carplay? Just wondering whether there's a glitch in that rather than the car.
