Description of the problem	"takata recall" received letter from subara of america, inc. 3/24/17 in reference to recall. Instructed to take vehicle to local dealership for repair. Took vehicle next day to dealership, which stated they had repair parts and made an appointment for repairs within a week. The day before scheduled appointment, service dept. Phoned me and said that they didn't have the repair parts. I have made attempts to contact the service dept with promises of a call back, which never materialize. I believe that since the vehicle was not purchased at this dealership, i am being overlooked. This recall effects my wife who has walking problems and must ride in the front passengers seat. Dealership offers a loaner car for these recalls, but never returns my calls to my cell phone.
