Consumer Description
AFTER READING SEVERAL NEWS STORIES TODAY (04/09/14) ABOUT THE RECALL OF 27 TOYOTA MODELS (INCLUDING 2013 RAV 4), FOR: ?CABLES FOR THE DRIVER AIR BAG MODULE THAT CAN BE DAMAGED, DISABLING THE BAG, THOUGH A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON (3.5 MILLION VEHICLES, 1.67 MILLION IN THE U.S.). ?SEATS THAT DON'T LOCK IN PLACE (2.32 MILLION, 670,000 IN NORTH AMERICA) ?STEERING COLUMN BRACKETS THAT MAY BECOME LOOSE OR FAIL (760,000, EUROPE AND ASIA ONLY) ?WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR (160,000, ASIA ONLY) ?STARTER MOTOR FIRE HAZARD (20,000, ASIA ONLY) I CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR - TOYOTA OF ROCK HILL. I WAS INFORMED THAT RECALLS ARE "COMING," BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE SPECIFIC INFORMATION FROM TOYOTA YET. I SHOULD BE GETTING A LETTER IN THE MAIL AND THEN I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. FRUSTRATING TO SEE THAT THE MEDIA HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THE ACTUAL RECALLS THAN THE TOYOTA DEALER. SO, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME I GET "MY LETTER," (MY AIR BAGS FAIL OR THE SEATS BECOME DISLODGED DURING AN ACCIDENT), I'M PRETTY MUCH SCREWED. *TR
