Takata recall - this issue has been known for a very long time and Toyota still has not done anything to fix it. Are they not required to do anything to protect people from faulty manufacturing?

I got a new Toyota Corolla and have been the only owner of this car. I got a notice in January 2017 about an airbag recall for the passenger front seat. I am writing now june10,2017 as this problem has not been resolved in 6 months !! the suggestion for me was to not let anyone use the passenger seat until the problem was fixed..6 months of not safely using my own car is causing me undue stress in the use of my vehicle. If a product (any other product you can think of ) is not working and has a safety issue, the product is returned !!!! to the company at their expense. I pay for car insurance on a car that has an issue in my mind, the problem needs to be fixed immediately, 6 months to replace an airbag "?" please use my letter to get the company to fix the problem.
