I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (INTERIM NOTICE) FROM TOYOTA ON 4/20/2016 REGARDING WIPER MOTOR LINK CORROSION ON MY 2011 TOYOTA RAV4, NHTSA RECALL 15V-577.IN THE INTERIM NOTICE IT STATES THAT AN INTERIM REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED AT NO CHARGE. I CALLED TWO (2) TOYOTA DEALERS AND BOTH SAID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FINAL REPAIR NOTICE. YET IN THE TOYOTA LETTER TO THEIR DEALERS DATED 2/25/2016 IT CLEARLY STATES THAT INTERIM REPAIRS WILL BE MADE TO VEHICLES LISTED IN PHASE 2 (F2S), COLD WEATHER CLIMATE STATES. IT ALSO STATES THAT IN THE NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED. THERE APPEARS TO BE SOME CONFUSION BETWEEN TOYOTA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS REGARDING INTERIM REPAIRS BECAUSE WHAT THE DEALERS ARE SAYING IS NOT WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE LETTER THAT I RECEIVED.
