Tundra 8-cyl

  • miles
Received safety recall notice approximately sometime November 2013, while living in roseburg, or, regarding "front passenger airbag inflater module" defect in my 2003 Toyota Tundra. I have made several calls to dealerships on a regular basis to inquire when I would be able to get this recall completed. I received this notice well before the thousands of other vehicles were recalled for air bag issues. I was told I must wait for a second notice before repairs could take place. I need to know what my rights are or what I can do to get my vehicle fixed. I am concerned for my safety and the safety of others. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
