Description of the problem | "takata recall" i have received a safety recall letter about (nhtsa 16v078) for my vw passat 2013. The letter emphasizes that i should "not delay in having this recall repair performed". I have scheduled a visit to vw dealer in arlington tx "hiley volkswagen arlington" through their website http://www. Hileyvw. Com/ for 04/20/2017 09:30 am. I however got a phone call from the dealer (a representative named huma) today (04/19/2017). She said that they do not have the part to do the replacement. She said vw only sends them parts once a week and they do not have enough to get my vehicle serviced tomorrow. She said she would call me on friday to let me know when i should take the car to the dealer for repair. I am disturbed that they delay the repair of my car while the recall letter says that it should be done right away because, if not, it "may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants." |
