I bought a vehicle with a salvage title and I want to DM. V to register i'm there request to me to do California highway petrol Salvage inspection. california highway patrol Told me to fix the recall first to get salvage Inspection or get a letter from Toyota stating that parts are not available and they will take full responsibility in the event that a malfunction occurs. I want to Toyota dealership to get my recall fixed. And they said they cannot fix it yet. Because its says "Remedy Not Available" on the recall. I called toyota brand Engagement center to ask for a letter, and they said that they can't give me a letter. So now I can't get my car registered. Thank you
