Owners who have not received a recall letter but own a Toyota model listed may also call the dealership at 601-636-2855 to see if the vehicle needs to be serviced. Madison said not all vehicles listed in the recall will need the fix. Technicians can tell by a visual inspection. If it does, the update takes about 30 minutes, Madison said.
