Takata recall. We got a recall notice from Subaru, recall tkb19, stating that no passengers should be allowed to ride in the passenger seat until the repair is performed. However, the only Subaru in the raleigh area said the earliest the repair could be done was in August; I called late in March. My wife rides in the passenger seat, so now we cannot use the vehicle, which is not acceptable, what can be done to get Subaru to either perform the repair soon or provide a loaner meanwhile ? thanks

I have an urgent need to address a safety recall for passenger side airbag and windshield wiper replacements. There are no Subaru dealerships in my area that can tend to this repair in a timely manner. They are all booked out until September. This is unacceptable. I am located in seattle Washington and drive a Subaru 2013 Legacy sedan. Please help. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
