I am the owner of a 2012 Toyota 4runner which has a current air bag recall. The parts were not available before our military pcs transfer overseas. They became available after my move overseas, but Toyota has not been able to assist in replacing my airbags. I am not getting ready to transfer back to the U.S. and this might affect my shipment of pov. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. -lcdr [xxx], uscg (living in the netherlands) information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall - I got a notice in the mail about this defect in my vehicle almost a year ago. It claims that whomever rides in the passenger side is at risk of potential death due to faulty airbag components. It goes on to warn that no one should ride in the passenger seat until a remedy has been established to fix the problem. This is our main vehicle and mode of transportation. My wife has to regularly ride in the passenger side of the vehicle, putting her life in constant danger, because we have no other option available. I keep checking week after week to see if a plan has been implemented to rectify this situation, but week after week nothing has been done. My patience is growing thin, and I feel helpless to keep my family safe.

Takata recall - is taking much too long. My concern and Toyota warning expressed about the recall is it creates a danger to front seat passengers and does not allow me to use the vehicle front seat. This is very inconvenient as well as unsafe. II have contacted my dealership and keep getting notices but nothing happens. When will remedy be available?

Takata recall. It has been 10 months since the recall was announced on January 9, 2017, yet there is still no solution/remedy for it by Toyota. The recall status is still listed as "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". in the meantime, thousands of us 4runner drivers are at risk to injury or death due to this defect. That is unacceptable.
