| Description of the problem | Campaign 14v273000 (spare tire cable corrosion) was initiated in may 2014. It's now a year later and there is no permanent fix, nor has toyota even provided a date when there will be a permanent fix. The interim fix i have been living with for the past year was to remove the spare tire from under my minivan and put it in the passenger compartment. Toyota has gone way too long without providing a fix. But what troubles me today is that when i look up my vin ([xxx]) in toyota's database and in yours (safercar. Gov), the response is no open recalls. How can this be? "no open recalls," yet the problem still exists. I wonder if anyone is working on it. Btw, i'd be happy to have a new cable same as the original installed, but apparently the dealer isn't allowed to use the same part as original because it could corrode again, which in my opinion is unlikely because at this point in my minivan's life, any cable will outlast the rest of the vehicle. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
