| Description of the problem | Recall notification followup --- this vehicle has a brake lamp switch recall. I called the dealer --bob baker subaru in carlsbad ca -- and they require an appointment to change the switch. Today is july 9, 2019, and they cannot schedule an appointment until november, 2019. To me this is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for a vehicle recall that is a very minor part replacement. I am making this complaint because the recall notice and this website both mention that the repair should be done in a reasonable amount of time. |
