Takata recall I recently received the safety recall notice in the mail and spoke with an fca employee about the recall at the number provided. The recall states that it could injure or kill myself or my family yet I was not provided with any assistance in finding another means of transportation while waiting on the recall parts to become available. Will a rental vehicle be provided while I wait for parts, as I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle?
