I went to a Toyota dealer to get the recall work done(dealer at 2610 forest lane'dallas, tx) they never did the repair and gave me a phone call trying to sell me with $1000+ of bogus repairs. There was nothing wrong with my car, I have a 21point inspecrtion done twice a year by good mechanics--except the red light under the radio stays on and says airbag off.the button to the right of this would say airbags on but it doesnt't work. They never did the the repair. This repair was also something about seatbelt. All they did was try and scam me for $1000.

It's has been determined that takata driver's side air bag hasn't been replaced by the dealer. The Toyota dealer replaced passenger side air bag about 2 years ago. I don't think they have replaced the driver side airbag which could be dangerous in a crash.

The subject vehicles may be equipped with an electronic control unit (ECU) from a specific supplier designed to receive signals from crash sensors and deploy the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. The ECU may not have adequate protection against certain electrical noise that can occur in certain crashes, such as severe underride crashes. This can lead to incomplete or nondeployment of the airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
