If the dealer does what's in the dealer agreement (which consists mostly of paying the bills, using Toyota approved advertising, and keeping a certain amount of parts based on purchases) they have almost no other control. So you might sue the dealer but suing Toyota because of the dealer's misrepresentation will get you nowhere. All car manufacturers have recalls from time to time. The manufacturer sends a letter to the owner and you take it in to get it fixed. If you didn't get a letter, then there is a problem. Car manufacturers also maintain a hotline you can call to find out if there are any recalls. The government maintains a web site as well. The dealer is independent of Toyota.
