| Description of the problem | Received recall ssc 70b-front suspension lower ball joint safety recall noticere on or around 6/07/07. Called dealership for appointment to replace, heather in service said they would have to order the part and it would take 3 to 6 weeks for them to receive, at that time they would call me for an appointment. I said that was a long time to wait and she said they only get 5 at a time once a week or every other week, that it was a national recall. My point was then shouldn't there be more of these parts available with a shorter wait time. Very upsetting about the delay in getting the part replaced, as it seems according to the recall notice a possiblity of a crash may occur do to the defective part. *ak |
