WHILE DRIVING MY 2018 TUNDRA SR5 A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING " SR5 AIRBAG SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. I KNOW IT WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BACK IN 2018 BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THAT RECALL
TOYOTA INFORMED ME THROUGH MAIL TO MY ADDRESS THAT MY NEW 2018 TOYOTA TUNDRA "FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS (FMVSS) NO.208," "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION," AND 214, "SIDE IMPACT PROTECTION." WHEN I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER PROVIDED 1-888-270-9371 TO ASK IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO COVER THE COST OF TAKING THE VEHICLE TO AN ALTERNATE REPAIR FACILITY LOCATED ON MY ISLAND, THEY REFUSED, NOT ONLY DID THEY REFUSE BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT ONLY A TOYOTA AUTHORIZED DEALER COULD PERFORM THE REPAIR. WHEN I ASKED HOW I WAS SUPPOSE TO DEAL WITH THE SAFETY RECALL WITHOUT AN OPTION TO BRING MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT ON MY OWN, WHEN I ASKED FOR THE RESPONSE IN WRITING THEY ALSO CLAIMED THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT PROVIDED THAT.
