TAKATA RECALL I BELIEVE TOYOTA HAS TAKEN AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RESOLVE THE TAKATA INFLATOR ISSUE. THE INTERIM NOTICE FOR THE RECALL IS DATED MAY 23, 2016 ON TOYOTA'S WEBSITE. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY DIRECT (MAIL) CORRESPONDENCE UNTIL DECEMBER 2016, IN WHICH THE LETTER SAID TO WAIT UNTIL A REMEDY BECOMES AVAILABLE. SINCE THEN, IT HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT INCONVENIENCE TO AVOID HAVING PASSENGERS RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE NOTICE WAS DATED MAY 23, 2016. I TRIED CONTACTING MY TOYOTA DEALER SOON THEREAFTER, BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THEM ON OTHER OCCASIONS, AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. TODAY, JUNE 14, 2017, SOMEONE CONTACTED MY TOYOTA DEALER ON MY BEHALF, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE. THE RECALL IS TO FIX A DEFECT THAT POSES THE THREAT OF METAL PROJECTILES CAUSING DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. BY FAILING TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE WITHIN A YEAR, TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM IN A REASONABLE TIME, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE SAFETY THREAT. UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED, I AM DEPRIVED OF THE FULL USE AND ENJOYMENT OF MY VEHICLE.
