thanks for the info, but how do we know if the axle shaft is defective. my innova was release august 2005 so i guess . . . i am just waiting for disaster to happen?

[ginoba]

Pwede mong mong ma chek ang yng axle kng sira una kng may kakaibang tunog pag tumatakbo at kng may leak at chek mo yng oil nya sa axle , Mararamdam mo naman yan kng gusto mo ipa test drive mo sa marunong na Mechanic. Cge Bro Good luck

[tabong]

Paano po ba malalaman yung date kung kailan na-manufacture yung mga Innova natin? Ito po ba yung "Prod. Year" sa Vehicle Sales Invoice?

thanks for the info bro. correct me if i'm wrong yung axle shaft ba ay yung mahabang tubo na umiikot sa ilalim ng innova para ma-drive yung differential? i know kung hindi ito balanced, nagkakaroon ng vibration. wala namang unusual sound o vibration sa takbo ng innova ko, pero ang worry ko lang e kapag defective ito, baka bigla na lang itong mag-break o kumalas hopefully not during high speed cruising!

[afrasay]

maybe you're refering to the propeller shaft. yun tinututukan nun sa likod at nakabukol pag sinilip mo yun ang axle or commonly called differentials.

I suggest you give your dealer a call. I just called mine and asked since I bought my innova last Jan 2006 and it was manufactured in Nov 2005. They said it was not included in the list based on the frame number. The reason for the recall is because of a substandard part (axle shaft) that may easily break. So as a precaution they will replace it for free.

That is not a BIG but a VERY REMOTE possibility! (My opinion.)

Agree w/ this one.....But by any chance it happens (as to sir larshells' opinion)....we'll definitely be buying brown sugar much higher than white......hehe much better

Ang axle shaft a solid or tubular shaft that connect the final drive to the wheel that turns to move the vehicle. Pero connected ito sa propeller drive shaft galing yan sa transmission or gearbox. Yng sinasabi mo na vibration baka nangagaling yan sa propeller drive shaft check mo ang mga universal joint ng drive shaft. Wala dapat yan vibration.....

[Mile2]

From what I know, axle shaft is the cylindrical bar that is inside our rear differential. It is actually two - the left and the right and connected to the differential gear box at the center ( a huge ball like at the center). The outer ends are connected to the tires.

If they issue a recal then it is for the end users sake, so we just have to include them in the regular PMS to save time and trips.

Magandang hapon ho sa inyong lahat. Isang malaking karangalan para sa akin ang mapasama sa isang malayang talakayan paris nito. Tunay ngang napakarami ng aking natutunan sa pagbabasa ng inyong mga post. Bukas ho ay makukuha ko na ung binili kong segunda manong Innova E (2006 model na nakatakbo na ng 9000+ kms.) na ipapalit ko sa aking Revo. Kahit ho kinabahan ako sa problema ng D4D diesel engine, kinuha ko na rin dahil may tiwala naman ako sa Toyota.

Nais ko lamang hong malaman kung yung natitirang warranty ng sasakyan ay malilipat sa akin kahit ako ay pangalawang may-ari na?

Salamat ho uli at sana'y wag ninyo akong itiwalag.

Yes, it is transferable.

The prevous owner should give you the WARRANTY BOOKLET.

It is stated in page 3.

FULLY Transferable.
Warranty coverage is fully transferable to subsequent vehicle owners. Only the the unexpired portion of the warranty period will be taken over by the new owner.


You should also ask the former owner the certificates for:

1. Fujitsu Stereo
2. Battery warranty certificate
3. Car Air Conditioner warranty card.

Lastly the Owner's Manual so that you can read and understand your new ride.

Good Luck,

Salamat po ng marami, Mile2. Sabi ko na nga ba, hindi ako nagkamali ng pag sali dito. Huli na po ito, kabayan, paano ko malalaman kung kasali sa axle recall ung bagong (luma) kong kabayo? Hanggang sa muli!

you can call any dealer and ask them. They will check and confirm using the vehicle's chassis #.

Ask ko lang po. How do you remove the black plastic cover on top of the D4D engine of our Innova? gusto ko lang linisin yung ilalim kasi at di ko malaman kung pano alisin. Maraming salamat po!!

Just pull it upwards - there's around 4 thick rubber grommet-type fasteners that hold it in place. I remove it regularly to clean my engine.

I also called Toyota Pasong Tamo - my Innova J D4D is also on recall for axle shaft replacement - got it last May 2005.

Advise ko lang sa inyo Innova peeps, when you have your axle shaft replaced, talk to the warranty officer of your dealer and also check if your Innova (also based on the chassis #) is also due for replacement of it's fuel tank metal strap. Some Innova's manufactured during the first half of 2005 have fuel tank straps that rub against the fuel tank under normal driving conditions. The prolonged abrasion will cause your fuel tank to leak - dangerous. The warranty officer of Toyota Pasong Tamo (Mr. Arnel Resplandor) told me they already replaced many fuel tank straps but mine was not in the list, but he'll check it anyway when I have my axle shaft replaced.

So how big a lemon is our Innova :

Defective supply pump (some)
Defective axle shaft (most)
Defective fuel tank strap (some)
Defective stereo (most)
Center pillar molding that snaps off (some)
. . . . what could be next ?
