    I think as long as you can certify the recall has never been done to your truck they will honor it. But, I don't really know. Quick phone call to the dealership would solve your dilemma.

    Recalls never go away. I had a friends 94 toyota get the head gasket replaced last year under recal. If they run the VIN and it doesn't show that its been done they HAVE to do the recal.

    Thats what I thought as well.....from what she told me mine was not included in the recall. Im guessing the date of the vehicle being manufactured had something to do with it. Maybe they used a different gasket on mine..I dunno. Think I should pursue it more?

    Yeah I think all 3vz motors should be able to get it done under recall
