| Description of the problem | "takata recall" we have been contacting our trusted subaru dealer (carlsen subaru, 480 veterans blvd redwood city,ca 94063) frequently since july when we have received the attached recall notice. During our recent visit about this recall to the dealership we were told that parts are still not available, and that since california has a dry climate it is not likely that we have rusted components. That is an incorrect and dangerous assumption! We live in half moon bay, on the coast, quarter mile from the ocean - where breeze, moisture and salt result in accelerated rusting (both indoors and outdoors). The car is 10 years old, it has been 6 months since the recall. I request that you address this dangerous situation immediately. Regards, [xxx] cc: www. Subaru.

Gov (via file a vehicle safety complaint) carlsen subaru (via contact us and usps) information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
