TAKATA RECALL - IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT TOYOTA / TAKATA HAS YET TO OFFER A FIX FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE! THE COROLLA IS NOT A LARGE VEHICLE TO BEGIN WITH AND NOT ONLY IS MY FAMILY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THERE IS NO PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE IF SHRAPNEL IS EJECTED FROM THE AIRBAG. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT I PAID FOR!!!

TAKATA RECALL MANUFACTURE RECALL # G1P, NHTSA RECALL # 16V340 RECALL INITIATED MAY 23, 2016. DATE OF COMPLAINT JUNE 27, 2017. RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE AFTER 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. RECALL IS TAKING TOO LONG, VEHICLE IS UNSAFE.

IN JUNE 2016 I WAS SENT A LETTER STATING MY CAR IS INVOLVED IN A RECALL DUE TO THE AIRBAG INFLATORS. THE RECALL STATES "THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATORS RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATORS RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." AND SO FAR NO FURTHER COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN SENT AS TO HOW AND WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE REMEDIED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT I LIVE IN THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ZONE, WHICH IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON MAY 23, 2016 SAYING THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS NOT SAFE, AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN PROVIDED. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
