Any one get the letter which was supposed to be out in mid-sep on the steering rod (connector piece?) I'm original owner and haven't moved -- yet to receive the recall notice.

I am original owner of 94 Runner and did not move. I did not receive any
paperwork.

I've had a lot of customers say the same thing. Call your local dealer and
give them your VIN, they can tell you in a few seconds whether you are in
range for it. You don't need the letter to get it done if your truck needs
it.

Not all vehicles were affected by the recall. If you call Toyota and give
them your VIN, they can tell you if your vehicle was part of the recall.

I received a recall notice in today's mail for my 1989 SR5.

SSC 50N Steering Relay Rod Replacement Safety Recall Notice

"On the involved vehicles, if the steering wheel is repeatedly turned
under certain conditions where high steering effort is required, for
instance, when fully turning the wheel while the vehicle is stopped, a
fatigue crack may develop in the Steering Relay Rod. In the worst case
the Steering Relay Rod may fracture, causing a loss of vehicle steering
control and thus increasing the possibility of a crash".

Sounds serious to me.
