I have received a recall for airbags, and I took the car to be checked on 12/14/14 to reinhardt motors, Inc. 720 East blvd, montgomery al 36117, and they told me my VIN number was not affected. I received another letter, and called them to report it, and they told me it is not an actual recall unless Toyota sends me a letter saying it definitely involves my car. They want to charge me $776 to replace the sensor. If the sensor is bad, then it should be on the recall list. The airbag light came on in my car about 5 months ago. What should I do now? thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'
