Lol im a n00b....plz explain!

 

Technical Service Bulitan ** Eew spelling**

Its practically a recall but toyota doesnt take your car. If your car qualifies for the TSB then you take your car into the dealership for a free fix of the problem.

 

Toyota/Scion will not contact the buyer for TSB's as they would in a recall. It's kind of a "heads-up" to the dealers/techs...also helpful for savvy owners, as we can search for TSB's for things we find to be a problem (like there are TSB's for rattles on some cars, some xb's have a TSB for poor air conditioning, there's a TSB for the gas tank on some xb's, etc. If we think our car is affected, etc...tell the dealer's service dept about the problem and maybe let them know there is a TSB on it...help's solve the problem.

 

They are only free while your car is still under warranty.

 

There used to be a really good site that had a full listing of all TSBs. I think it was a Corolla site. Anyway, either their site is down or I'm not smart enough to find where they've put the TSBs. Does anyone have a link for TSBs?

 

here is that link!

Outstanding! Thank you, UnFocused!

 

tight link...thanks a bunch....

 

not in all cases.

 

That is a great find, but not quite up-to-date. Looks like the last one they have listed is in early Dec. '04, and there have been serveral TSBs for xBs since then.

Looks like almost nobody gives away TSBs for free, they are all subscription-based services. This site:

will give you the titles of the TSBs, but you have to pay to look at the actual TSB. I guess if you think a TSB might apply to a problem you are having you could go to the dealership and ask to see the TSB (they have them all)
