TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V033000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME (APPROX. 30 MILE DRIVE), I WAS HEARING SOMETHING THAT WAS THUMPING, THINKING IT WAS JUST MY SEAT BELT HANGING OUT THE DOOR. I TRIED THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT AND IT WAS TIGHT, SO I ASSUMED IT WAS JUST MY SEAT BELT HANGING OUT THE DOOR. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, I NOTICED THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT HANGING OUTSIDE THE DOOR. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR TO FIND A "L-SHAPED" BAR HANGING OFF THE CAR. IT WAS THE BAR THAT HELD THE GAS TANK. I NEVER EXPECTED SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT TO A CAR WOULD HAVE LET GO. ALL ALONG I AM THINKING IS IT STILL SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BECAUSE THERE MUST BE A SECOND BAR HOLDING THE TANK UP. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THERE IS NOT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME I WAS A VERY LUCKY GIRL AS THE METAL BAR WAS THE ONLY BAR HOLDING THE TANK UP. THERE SHOULD BE A ADDITIONAL BARS INSTALLED TO GIVE EXTRA PROTECTION IF ONE SHOULD FALL OFF OR BECOME LOOSE.
WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT COLLISION WITH A DEER. UPON IMPACT, NEITHER OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ALSO, NO AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT. *AK
