My toyota tacoma (2007) appears to qualify for the airbag recall but searching my VIN does not bring it up. The manufacturing facility, dates and VIN range all seem to match. How do I challenge this or appeal to have this corrected? The airbag light is constantly on I am told it will cost hundreds of dollars to fix the spiral spring. Please help!
Takata recall- I had a accident while vehicle was in motion which caused air bag deployment. Injuries included facial cut to chin requiring external and internal stitches, a concussion, black eye and other cuts ( have photographs that could not be uploaded due to size) takata informed me I may have claim. I filled out there forms only to be denied three times, the last one due to my vehicle not on recall list. My question is why is my vehicle not on recall when I have suffered the exact injury's from the air bag as described in the recall. Thank you.
