In mid december, 2019, i was driving on the interstate and the spare tire dropped from under my 2003 toyota tundra. fortunately, no vehicles were behind me at the time. i was so surprised to see that tire bouncing down the road behind me! that spare tire had never been taken from the carrier. i made an appointment with a toyota dealer for inspection/recall in early february. they said the corrosion on the cross-member needed to be replaced but the spare tire carrier corrosion issue causing the tire to drop was only for recalls on the tacoma models, i was responsible for the issue. i feel this is a toyota manufacturing safety issue that needs to be addressed. do i have any recourse?
I was in motion and driving on a residential street, while operating vehicle at the time of accident. after the collision, the airbag did not deploy. the takata airbag was replaced by the auto manufacturer (toyota dealership) prior to my above mentioned accident. the auto accident occurred for unknown reasons, possibly brake failure or unexpected acceleration of the car engine.

Takata recall
Takata recall. i received a paper in the mail stating to file a ppic proof of claim because i had been identified as a current registered owner of a vehicle with a takata -manufactured airbag inflators containing psan. despite not having suffered any injury, loss, or death it was recommended that i file this claim.
Spiral cable, also called clockspring, failed, identical to other toyota spiral cable failures on other models that were recalled. another recall needs to be issued that corrects this dangerous problem (it disables the driver airbag and horn) for affected tundra models.

The srs symbol for passenger air bags came on in my toyota tundra on 7/8/17, while driving down the road
I know there was a recall on the airbags for the passenger side a few years ago and everytime i would called to get replaced as promised they did not have any airbags to repair and claim it wasn't that big of a deal you just couldn't have a passenger in your car and eventually they might be able to replace the faulty airbag. i just looked up information again on my truck and now it's not even showing that there was a recall but i do have documentation that they're actually was so i don't know if since they didn't have the parts to replace it it's not a valid recall or why they didn't have to comply with the recall because i think it's funny to not enforce recalls if they are supposed to. nothing happened because i turned off the passenger airbag so i don't know if it's faulty or what but they refuse to replace it is my point and reason for my complaint i don't remember exactly when the recall was but it was actually a few years ago i have called numerous times to toyota and always been told they don't have parts yet ...
