| Description of the problem | Takata recall last week, i received a letter from subaru of america telling me that parts are available to replace my defective takata air bag. However, the local dealer (landers mclarty subaru, huntsville, al) says that parts are not available, and they cannot tell me when parts will be available. I think that landers mclarty subaru is not being truthful with me - that they are trying to avoid as many air bag replacements as possible. |
