| Description of the problem | Toyota sent a recall notice ssc 70b - front suspension lower ball joint safety recall notice in april. I immediately called to set up an appointment. Was told that parts were about a month behind, they would call upon receipt of parts. As of today, july 19, only a few parts have been received. I was told they had no idea when my name would come up for repair. Hopefully, i will not be dead from an accident involving this vehicle by the time they receive the parts. They should not be allowed to take this long for repairs that are potentially this hazardous. *jb |
