Description of the problem	Toyota sent me a recall notice (nhtsa recall # 16v-596) in early october 2016 saying i needed to bring my rav4 in to inspect and repair the rear lower suspension arm do to possible equipment failure "resulting in loss of control and increased risk of a crash". I called to make an appointment and they said the parts were not in yet. I have called back every month for the past 8 months and they say the parts are on back order with no eta. This seems excessive and ridiculous. If this is truly a safety issue, why doesn't toyota make new parts or send out a letter saying this was no big deal and there is not a real safety concern. Driving around for 8 months worrying about a suspension failure and possible accident is causing my ptsd to flair up. I would like an official response from a toyota executive explaining why they are taking so long to get a simple part and give me some assurance that their recall is not just a joke.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
