Toyota has notified me (NHTSA recall number: 14v604) on September 29, 2014 and again in September, 2015 concerning the rear suspension system of my Tacoma Toyota truck. I am very concerned that this safety recall 'fix' has gone on much too long. I have contacted my local dealer twice to see about this recall but they say they have not received the needed parts from Toyota. In the mean time my leaf springs occasionally make noises described by the dealer as a potential safety problem. My question: why is it taking Toyota so long to repair what appears to be a simple problem? am I endangering my family and myself by continuing to drive my 2010 Tacoma?.
