NHTSA Complaint #10192979 — 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA

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
