TAKATA RECALL ZONE A - G0P (INTERIM G1P) RED ZONE. NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340. I RECEIVED A TAKATA PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO MAY 2016 WHEN I STILL LIVED IN ZONE A FLORIDA. TOYOTA SAYS IT STILL HASN'T FOUND A REMEDY, WHATEVER THAT MEANS, AND KEEPS TELLING ME I CAN BUY A NEW CAR. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS ON WHAT TOYOTA CAN DO. NEWSPAPERS KEEP REPORTING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVEN'T TAKEN THEIR VEHICLES IN FOR TAKATA RECALL REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT TOYOTA IS DRAGGING ITS FEET. MY DAUGHTER'S SUBARU HAD A TAKATA RECALL THIS SPRING AND HER DEALER FIXED IT THE NEXT WEEK! WE BOTH LIVE IN COLUMBUS, OH NOW. I HAVE TO HAUL MY GRANDCHILDREN SO I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW TOYOTA IS DRAGGING ITS FEET.
