Takata recall. I have received a notice stating that there is a recall and I would receive another letter when the parts are available which would be by the end of April. It is now going into the end of may and I have yet to receive any letter. This vehicle has an active recall currently. I am unable to drive any other vehicle as this is my primary use of transportation. I would like to know what the status of this request is. The initial recall advises it was recalled on January 10, 2017 but I did not receive any notification until April.

My airbag signal is always flashing. When I went to Nissan dealer they fixed the problem by resetting, so they thought it's a connection problem. But it started flashing soon after they reseted, so I suspect it's not a connection problem. Besides, my friend also has a Nissan Versa 2012 with airbag signal flashing, but she hasn't gone to dealer because it's expansive to replace an airbag. We would like to hear back from you soon. Thank you.
