“My 1990 Toyota pick-up was recalled ssc 50n to replace steering relay rod. The nearest dealer is two hundred miles from the vehicle. The recall center stated that this recall must be performed by a Toyota dealer. There must be another way to fix the vehicle. Toyota could provide the parts and I assume the price to install them.”
