Prius 4 delayed because of fault

[RunningInPleasePass]

I have been informed that my Prius 4 will be delayed by a day, because it has been sent from the factory requiring a small job to be carried out by the dealer, apparently the job only takes minutes, but it has to be done before the car can be handed over.

I have difficulty believing this, but I wonder if any body else has heard of this problem?

It could be a small ding in the bodywork, not unheard of, they'll probably carry out a smart repair on it.

I would ask them to clarify what the  small job is and if it is bodywork, I'd ask for a discount.

If the sales guy can be believed, he says it's a very small mod to the suspension, he has three other customers effected by the same thing.

Toyota released a bulletin affecting a small amount of cars where a bolt of the incorrect type may have been fitted to the front lower wishbone, the fix was really simple swap the affected bolt for a new one so yes the salesman is correct

Many thanks for the info.

Confirmed by a Toyota dealer, very small number in the earlier batches affected, apparently a quick fix,does not cause an immediate issue, seems to be being done more due to keeping specs correct than a safety matter.

Thanks for the information.

I collected the car yesterday, your right about it being a spec issue, the guy said they had to swap some bolts, but he could see no difference between the ones he took out and the replacements.
