"TAKATA RECALL" - I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS WHICH IS DESIGNATED CLIMATE ZONE 2A HUMID. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS SINCE TOYOTA SENT ME A LETTER INFORMING ME OF A RECALL OF MY CAR DUE TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IN THE LETTER, IT STATED THAT IN A HOT, HUMID CLIMATE SUCH AS OURS, THE TAKATA AIRBAG WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BEGIN DETERIORATING ABOUT SIX YEARS AFTER MANUFACTURE AND BE TOTALLY DETERIORATED BY NINE YEARS. I DIDN'T GET THE LETTER UNTIL NINE YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. IT'S LIKE TOYOTA SAYING, "GUESS WHAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN YOUR CAR IS LIKELY TOTALLY DETERIORATED NOW, SO WE RECOMMEND YOUR NOT CARRYING ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL WE GET AROUND TO REPLACING YOUR AIR BAG." I'VE BEEN DRIVING MY WIFE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS AROUND QUITE OFTEN SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT THE YARIS, AND NOW I'M JUST FINDING OUT IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR THEM TO BE RIDING AS A PASSENGER FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS, AND ESPECIALLY NOW. I'M ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT IT TOOK TOYOTA SO LONG TO INFORM ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND ESPECIALLY MORE SO WHEN I THINK I WAS GAMBLING WITH MY FAMILY'S SAFETY EVERY TIME WE WERE USING THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WANT TO GET MY AIR BAG REPLACED NOW OR FIND OUT HOW I CAN DISABLE THE AIR BAG. I WILL ALSO ACCEPT GETTING A SIMILAR MODEL LOANER CAR WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS NO OLDER THAN TWO YEARS OLD. THE DATE INDICATED IN THE FORM BELOW IS THE DATE OF THIS PARTICULAR RECALL BEING ISSUED.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HEAR WHEN I CAN BRING IN MY CAR TO BE FIXED. I GOT THE NOTICE IN MARCH, & CHECK THIS SITE, PLUS THE TOYOTA RECALL SITE FOR UPDATES. I FIND IT CONCERNING THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY NOTICE STILL TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN SEVEN MONTHS, AND THAT IS FAR TOO LONG FOR AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS TO BE UNFIXED. AS FAR AS I HAVE SEEN, MY VEHICLE'S FIX IS NOT READY AT THIS TIME.
