Guys just had a letter from Head Office of MR T adving me that there is a possible fault where the wiring loom may chaffe on the audio mount and that I should contact my local dealer for inspection and possible repair at Mr T's cost.

They say the problem caused is that the warning lights for the airbag and or the abs come on, I guess all registered owners will be getting this letter.

The letter is coded 7GB01 no other codes given

I hope this works, as I dont post that many pictures on the site and its a long time since I did so here goes. I am not supprised that some Mr T's have not heard of the potential problem, I was just saying to my wife that I would give it a few days before contacting the Essex dealer to give them a chance to get the update.

Here is a copy of an email received from Toyota GB regarding this matter along with an attached letter.

If admin feel it necessary it can be pinned for reference to those it concerns

QuoteHi Les


I wanted to ask your help with posting some information on the various MR2 owners clubs forums. We have a letter which we wanted to post on the various websites explaining to owners about a future modification campaign affecting MR2 roadsters from 2000 to 2002. We thought it would be useful to provide background information to owners explaining about this campaign and to ensure the correct information is easily available. It is also to emphasise that if you receive a letter then your vehicle may be affected, if you do not receive this letter then it is not.


Best wishes

[MOD]Thanks Les, I've stickied this so it stays at the top of the threads, amended the title to be more specific, and deleted posts on the thread irrelevant to the main matter in hand.

Hi,

As suggested by Les this has been included in Issue 12 which has been dispatched today as a separate 'Stop Press' for any Roadster owners who may have missed it or are not on the forum.

Thanks Les for letting us know

I had this procedure done while my car was in for repair, it isn't  much of a job and there is nothing to worry about, plus as part of the package I received £15 worth of petrol for the inconvenience   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I've got an import but I'm assuming this will effect mine too? Might have to print the letter out and take it to the local Mr T.

Hi All,

Mine is between those dates, but no letter received.  Do Mr T get the registered owners list from the DVLA?   s:? :? s:?

No idea, probably not since its NOT a recall. Why not just print it out and take it to your MrT?

As in my original letter from David Crouch I can only repeat what was stated, assuming this is for UK models only.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I saw this when it started at the end of September and only got my letter this week, so it looks like they are in no rush.

I was called by my dealer (very exciting) - when I returned the call hoping for some free wheels / free engine etc, was mega disappointed...

Seems the wire can chafe and cause fire - not that we have heard of any.....

I cant be bothered taking my car in for that

The dealer said that the master cylinders have had to be replaced on some cars so mines booked in on mon to have both sorted.

I doubt your insurance would pay out either if your car caught light and they found out that your car was called in and you ignored it!
