I had the same thing with my Sport that I bought in October. I called Toyota's Customer Care hotline and they told me that this was a mistake - a "misbuild" as they call it.
They plan on doing a voluntary recall sometime in March to have new mirror-equipped visors installed, but I'd call just to make sure that they have you in their files.
Yeah, I also called and they said the voluntary recall will be later in Spring sometime. They'll contact everyone, but they also took down my name and information to add into the file I suppose.
Same thing in my sport. My wife was a bit angry when we drove out of the lot. I just bought mine a few days ago so they must still be making them that way.
sonic don't worry, everyone's vanity mirrors are missing. They had a production failure that resulted in missing mirrors.
We have been told that there will be voluntary recall notice out in feb/mar so just wait until then. You'll definitely hear from Toyota regarding this issue.
Ok, thanks for replying guys. I called the dealership and they are supposed to take care of my mirrors tomorrow. I'll keep u posted, in the mean time enjoy your 4runners!
Really? They've got new visors already? What dealership are you going through? I was told - as everyone else was - that Toyota won't have parts until March or so.
Ok, so I called the dealership (Northridge Toyt) and they said that the mirrors did not come stock and I'd have to pay about 250 bucks for it......NO WAY!
So I'll call Toyota tomorrow and add my name to the list.
All the models are suppose to come w/ the vanity mirrors. check out the brochure, it'll state that it comes w/ vanity mirrors.
Ed:
Don't worry too much about the vanity mirros because most all dealers are aware of the missing mirrors. we'll all be getting the recall notice soon (feb/mar) so we should be okay. A few of us has already called toyota and they are aware too so they won't just blow us all off!
It will be FREE!!!! It better or we'll have to romp on em!
Thanks for the information. I'm still waiting for the 2003 4Runner SR5 to come out with the same color through-out the body. I heard someone say that these SR5 models are in production in December and should be at the dealer on February.
May be the ones that will come out in February will have mirrors on the visors.
I just purchased a new 2003 4Runner Sport on Saturday 1/25/03 and I had vanity mirrors with lights on both the passenger and drivers side. I don't have the mfg date with me right now, but will try to get that and post. Thanks!
Have you heard from toyota on when we'll get this pieces in? Just wondering since the new production 4runners come w/ them now.
Figure we should be hearing from them soon regarding the replacement recall.
Hey Ed:
They said you'd get a $10 certificate? wow I didn't get one of those DANG! I guess I'm gonna have to call em back and chew em out again! hehe
Duerrs:
The mfg date should be found on the drivers door section. It'll have the month/yr and also a # which tells you what number it was on the production line for that month/yr
I guess the rest of us will be getting something in the mail soon
No Visor Mirror???
DANG! I guess I'm gonna have to call em back and chew em out again! hehe
