| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I received the interim notice from toyota that states "... We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat...". I use my vehicle for my family and toyo is recommending that i not use it. Does toyota plan to provide loaner vehicles or rental car re-imbursement for the period when my vehicle is not operable as a 5-passenger vehicle with passenger air bags? I don't understand how they can sell me a vehicle and then not use it for its described purpose. Clarification would be appreciated. Thanks. |
