| Description of the problem | Takata recall hoover toyota, birmingham al said they would not do the recall because we had replaced the trucks failed computer with a used model. They said that since we did not use an dealership to do the previous repair that they would not do the airbag replacement. They said they would hold the car unless we signed a release of liability form if we picked up the truck without paying them to replace the computer again. Calls to toyota corporate received the same response. After a couple hours of threatening, they managed to figure out how to replace the airbag. Their reasoning for not being able to do the replacement was that they could not do a health checkup on the truck because the vin number in the trucks computer did not match the trucks vin number. |
