Following a CBS Morning News investigation and an “awakening” interview with CBS News about the Takata airbag recall, Toyota car dealer Earl Stewart has opened up a lawsuit against one of his competitors, “Arrigo Enterprises, under Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, alleging that dealership isn’t telling buyers about the recall and even that it’s ‘misrepresenting the (cars’) Takata recall status.’” CBS says that the “owner of Arrigo Enterprises told ‘CBS This Morning’ that he was not violating the law by selling vehicles with open recalls, but he had not reviewed the lawsuit yet and did not give further comment.” Steward has said that the goal of this lawsuit “is not the money – it’s to get the sales of these cars stopped.”
