[FONT="][FONT="]URGENT: Please make sure you are on top of this!!![/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]TMS has learned that the CBS "TV News Magazine" Inside Edition has been going to the NHTSA and Toyota websites to identify VINs of used cars in dealer inventory that have not yet had the recall repairs performed. They are attempting to purchase these vehicles. The intent is to produce a negative scare story. Also, Inside Edition has visited non-Toyota dealerships to try to purchase such vehicles.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]It's important to warn our dealers about these investigations, and to make sure no used vehicles are delivered to any buyers (even for test drives) before they have been checked for any outstanding recall repairs. If a CBS camera crew appears during a sales transaction, they should be told that no vehicles are cleared for delivery until the pre-delivery check assures that all recall remedies have been applied.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Inside Edition seems to be putting an unusual amount of effort into this "investigation."[/FONT][FONT="]

Probably not supposed to post this but I don't care. I'm the internet sales manager for my Honda/Toyota/Scion/Hyundai store. I took out the names/phone numbers. How messed up is this? Any Toyota dealer would be stupid not to do the recall work anyway.. it's basically free money from the manufacture.
