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!
