Received urgent safety recall notice on 8/11/2014. Called local dealer 8/12/2014 a.m. Was told dealership only receives one (1) replacement part per week so I have to be put on waiting list. Approximately 8 people ahead of me! The letter [xxx] , v.p. Toyota north america sent your agency on june 19,2014, stated the recall notice would go to affected customers once "sufficient replacement parts become available". That was 8 weeks ago, yet they can still only send one part per week?
