Description of the problem | I called my local toyota dealer about the toyota air bag recall(takata) they provided my with a rental vehicle and suggested that i call the toyota customer assistance. When i called the toyota customer assistance my vehicle was not registered to my name as it was still in the previous owner's name according to their data base. This is my concern. I had to tell toyota corporation the type and year of vehicle that i had as well as the vin number and she "updated" the data base. My concern is for the other people that drive toyota vehicles that are part of this recall but are not in their data base. We purchased this vehicle over 1 year ago and it should be in their data base. I did not receive a letter from the toyota corporation about the air bag as i read the paper and followed what the nhtsa said for owners of the recalled vehicles to do. If i would have not called toyota they would not have had my information on my car to send me a recall safety notice. I am concerned for the other owners of vehicles recalled by toyota that are not updated in their data base with the new owner's information. I purchased this car from a premier toyota in amherst, ohio. I am not sure how these data bases are updated, if ohio sends the license information to toyota or individual car companies send in the information on the updates. It is an issue i think needs to be addressed. |
