Power Steering Hose Recall: Part Question
My 2006 TL is subject to the recall per notice on the owner's link.
Called dealership, made appointment, arrived at dealer:
after 1/2 hour they decided that they did not have the hose for a 2006 in stock, only hoses for 2007 & 2008.
Does this make sense? Is the hose for a 2006 differenct from that for a 2007?
If true, wouldn't it make sense to repair the older models first

they probably did have one or more in stock WHEN you called- and someone else got there before you- maybe ten people got there before you, and then the warehouse runs out, and everyone is out of them!
What is this logic process that says fix the older cars first-????
they fix what comes in first- thats how it goes.
There are people with 03s that got several recall freebies issued in 04- and just now, in 2008- some members are getting around to having it fixed!!!!!
Get in an uproar over nothing and blame them for running out of parts that half the country suddenly wants!
They wanted you hanging around the waiting area half the day- really- they like to inflict as much emotional duress upon you as humanly possible- it gives the service manager joy
You should sell the TL immediatly and get a toyota

well the only thing they should do is order the part and make u wait for the next day or 2 days.....and look over everything on the car and make sure its good to go.....thats what my guys do. when and if they find anything, Im notified and questioned as to what I want to do....fix it myself or have the tech fix it....... to me thats doing the right thing.

warranty repairs are their own world of paperwork and protocols.
First you inspect the car- write the warranty repair order- get the part- install.
While the dealers are trying to keep enough on hand- things happen- shipments are delayed- more customers than expected came in at once---more can go wrong than goes right on most days
Do not expect them to ~look over the whole car~ for you during this time.
They dont want your car taking space on the lot for days at a time.
Its in for a specific warranty issue- thats what it gets- in and out preferred- here is a loaner, see you tonight

Uproar over nothing?
You make an appointment to get the repair, they confirm the appointment the day before, you take the time off to get there, waste 45 minutes waitnig for them to discover they NEVER had the part-
Maybe you have time to fritter away- I don't.

I think the older cars the 04's and such are getting the recall notice first. Weather they do it or not is up to the owner. I mentioned this to my Acura dealer and asked if my car would be subject to this recall. I was told yes but I probably would not get an official notice till June or July. But again I was told they have yet to see one fail on a TL. I am sure the notices are going out to the older cars and owners 1st so to help control some on the inventory issues that will arise from such a recall. Thats alot of hoses to order.

And if you think that showing up for an appointment like this is bad try and put things into perspective. I am about to be a father in late July early Aug and had to reschedule an ultrasound appointment. Guess what day they scheduled us for. A day that the ultrasound tech wasn't even working. Should they have known that? Sure what do I expect from them? Just an apology. I am sure it was an honest mistake. Forgive and forget man move on.

I speak from a place of having worked in the dealer parts and service dept
Appoinments are to save space for a tech to work on your car,
just like in the morning they will say- come at 8-15, thats just so each customer gets 10-15 minutes with the service writer to do the paperwork
It has NO relation to when your car will actually get worked on
If you knew the amount of customers that make appointments then no show- taking a spot someone else with a problemn could have used...
they may overbook- just like the airlines do every single day
Is it a bummer to waste your time- of course-
have I experienced both ends of it- YES
Are warranty issues and recalls well managed by corporate- you have got to be kidding!~
