| Description of the problem | My toyota rav4 2005 is included in the front driver airbag inflator recall. I received my first notice from toyota in may,2015 that my car was included in the recall but that "no remedy" was available and that i would be notified when the remedy was available. I received that notice of the available remedy a couple of weeks ago. After 4 calls to a toyota dealership to schedule the repair to the airbag, i was told by principle toyota in memphis, tn that the dealership is only allowed to order one part per week for repairs to rav4 vehicles so it could be as much as a month possibly two months before they could get the part ordered. If toyota advised me the remedy was available, i should be able to schedule that repair immediately. |
