| Description of the problem | I took my tundra into the dealership where i bought it, for the power window motor recall. The airbag light had been coming on for about a year. They informed me that that means the airbag is inoperable. I asked them to check and tell me what the issue was. They ran a check,(code b1801) and said to rule out some other problem they would first have to change out the spiral cable assembly, at my cost. Apparently that fixed the issue. It seems odd to me that with 8 million spiral cable assembly's under recall, that that would be the issue here, and it is not covered by the recall. The total cost was $507. 13, to me. Do i have any recourse? Toyota customer service gave me this website address to report the issue, since they are unwilling to take any responsibility here. They said "they can't predict what will go wrong with a vehicle". |
