| Description of the problem | Takata recall, i was failed to be notified about the recall on my vehicle for my hood latch being defective. June 5, 2017 was when they had determined the recall but never notified me. I received a letter in the mail from a lawyer about takata having a recall on airbags, so i decided to check any recall information online on 10/27/17 and found that it was not the airbag but it was the hood latch that is being recalled. The information is stating the hood latch will become loose and cause the hood to open will driving which is very hazardous considering i have a newborn on board. The recall number is nhtsa 17v358000, manufacturer 163 |
