Description of the problem | Several months ago i filed a report regarding the failure of both lower ball joints on my 2002 toyota tundra. Since that time you have enacted a recall # 05v225000. I called toyota customer service to inquire about recouping my costs which exceeded a thousand dollars. Toyota informed me that my vin # did not match with vehicles being recalled so they would take no action on my behalf. How is it possible that i have the correct year and make of vehicle and experienced the subject problem, but they are not required to correct the problem? *sc |
