"takata recall" : now 13+ months since 1st heard of this recall! also just heard that another driver has died because of this problem ( 18 and counting worldwide ), and that takata has filed for bankruptcy! supposedly the latest driver to die received 10 notices and failed to have the problem resolved. What I would like to know is why I have yet too receive even my 1st notice"?? is it because I am a "secondary" owner and do not have the same "rights" as an original owner" protection should be equal under the law!!!

Takata recall manufacturer recall G1P NHTSA recall no. 16V-340 original notice date - May 23rd, 2016. Dealership was notified of defective part, and owner was informed to "wait until necessary parts arrive" in fall 2016. Over 6 months later, still no word. 1 year, 1 month after original notice, still no fix or word from dealership. Owner and family are unable to safely drive this vehicle purchased in 2015 because of defective safety features, and are paying monthly fees to sit and look at a vehicle that is no longer safe to drive. Resale of the vehicle is not available, dealership claims they will buy the car under value to sell for parts, leaving a negative equity of thousands for the owner to pay. This needs to be remedied.

Takata recall - it is ridiculous that Toyota / takata has yet to offer a fix for this life threatening issue! the Corolla is not a large vehicle to begin with and not only is my family prohibited from using the front passenger seat, there is no part of the vehicle that is safe if shrapnel is ejected from the airbag. This is absolutely not what I paid for!!!

In June 2016 I was sent a letter stating my car is involved in a recall due to the airbag inflators. The recall states "the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflators rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflators rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death." And so far no further communication has been sent as to how and when this problem will be remedied. It should also be noted that I live in the most problematic zone, which is described in the recall.

Takata recall I received a notice on May 23, 2016 saying that my front passenger airbag is not safe, and will need to be replaced. However, the remedy for this problem has still not been provided. It has been over a year, and this is unacceptable.

Takata recall I believe Toyota has taken an unreasonable amount of time to resolve the takata inflator issue. The interim notice for the recall is dated May 23, 2016 on Toyota's website. I did not receive any direct (mail) correspondence until December 2016, in which the letter said to wait until a remedy becomes available. Since then, it has been a significant inconvenience to avoid having passengers ride in the front passenger seat.
