We received the passenger air bag notification and called the dealership on 7/18/15. Called several times since to see if we had "dropped through the cracks." Always told the parts have not been received. Today, 9/15/15, I was told by the local dealer to please call corporate and complain. Did so. Corporate Toyota also had the same story that the replacement air bags have not been received. Seems like a recall that is "smoke and mirrors." If these air bags are unsafe, they need to be replaced before more people are injured by them.

Corolla

Received a safety recall notice (Aug'15) for the front passenger air bag inflator which in the event of a rupture (air bag deployment), metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Since this was just a notice and not a request to fix the safety recall, I have waited over a month and have yet to receive any additional information. When I called my local Toyota dealership today (9/9/15), they too have not heard about any updates to repairing the car. Due to the serious nature of this recall and huge inconvenience of not allowing anyone to sit in the passenger seat of an economy car, I wanted to file this complaint. I believe this is way too long to not hear anything from Toyota about a repair.

I received the recall notice regarding the front passenger air bag and the recommendation that I not have a passenger in the front seat. I have been told Toyota does not have a remedy at this time, which I feel is unreasonable. I am disabled and have an anxiety disorder. This situation is making my condition worse and I feel that Toyota just doesn't care! how awful to send a notice to customers stating that the airbag is defective but there is no fix right now. I will never purchase another Toyota!
