Consumer Description

I TOOK MY TACOMA TO DEALER TO HAVE REAR LEAF SPRINGS INSPECTED PER A RECALL (14V604).. THEY REFUSED TO HONOR RECALL BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL OWNER (I'M SECOND OWNER) HAD INSTALLED A 2" LIFT KIT. THEY LEFT ME IN "LIMBO" REGARDING THIS RECALL. I DO NOT KNOW, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IF MY LEAF SPRINGS NEED REPLACING. THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOUSY WAY TO HANDLE A RECALL.
