Only $500?  Count yourself lucky.  But I thought all aspects of  
a recall should not cost the owner anything.

My 12yr old Rav4 has recently had a rear suspension, 2x shocks,  
4x rotors, 2 isolators, 2 calipers, and 4x brakepads  
replacement diagnosis.

Estimate = $2900

The work was done in about 8 hours. It was announced ready  
today (Friday), but when they went to back it out of the work  
bay, the brake line burst - due to excessive corrosion  
somewhere.

I'm without a vehicle for at least until Monday when they may  
or may not get the parts they need.
