2010 mud flap warning

Recommended Posts

Very happy with my fourth Prado (Kakadu) but please be warned.

The rear mud flaps will not stop stone damage to the rear painted bumper on the 5 door model.

I don't think this will be a problem for the 3 door.

Went down a very smooth, well graded unsealed road two weeks ago only to find stone damaged to the painted rear bumper.

Where I stopped, the farmers there have the same problem with their new Prado too.

Have been in touch with Toyota, but they are not taking any responsiblity.

Please look into larger mud flaps before driving the new 2010 5 door Prado on unsealed roads!!!!

I believe this damage will occur even on sealed roads over a period of time.

It will not be a cheap fix.

Haven't given up, please let me know if you have same problem and will keep you all informed.

I have recently purchased a 2010 Prado and am also having problems with the front and rear mudflaps. They are too small and stones damage the duco. I live up 10 kms of gravel so the damage is bad.

I am pursuing it with Toyota and will not rest until they fix the problem permanently.

While they are great cars, I would suggest they not be purchased until the problem is fixed.
