So JTHxxxxxx000001 to JTHxxxxxxxx23000 are vehicles that are affected so if you have vehicle 23,001 then you technically don't qualify for any recall. Issues could be corrected in house by factory so an early 2009 vehicle can be different than a late 2009 vehicle. If that makes any sense.

Also like jeff said, it depends on who the distributor is. Toyota if North America covers these recalls so if the dealer /distribitor is not toyota of north america then the car wont qualify for any North american recalls. For Example, A guy in Saudi Arabia tried to get a carbon buildup recall done since his car was a north american car but the lexus dealership looked at him like he was crazy because they never heard of any carbon build up recall. Lexus of UAE doesnt speak with Lexus if NA

to get a recall done for a safety issue I'm guessing?

Appreciate the input!
