"TAKATA RECALL"-RECEIVED NOTIFICATION VIA US MAIL MAY 2016, STATING THAT MY VEHICLE MODEL WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER PROVIDED I WAS TOLD TO NOT HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE AND THAT I'D BE CONTACTED ONCE THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE NOT TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE WHOLE CAR. IT'S NOW A FULL YEAR LATER AND STILL NO REMEDY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW.

RECEIVED NOTICE OF PASSAGE AIR BAG DEFECT ON MAY 23,2016. NO REMEDY PROVIDED, ONLY SUGGESTED THAT NO ONE RIDE IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.
