Nhtsa recall number 17v285 i took my truck to the dealership for this safety recall on may 9, 2017. Toyota says this problem has a remedy, but my dealer says the parts are not available. Nhtsa website says to file a complaint if repairs are not made in a timely manner. I have been without the use of this vehicle for two months, how long is considered "timely"?
