I received a letter from Toyota about a safety recall mid summer. It said I would receive a second letter when a remedy was available and I have heard nothing since. The issue is that there could be a potential for moisture intrusion that could make the airbag inflator more susceptible to rupture during a crash. If this happened metal fragments could strike the driver or other passengers resulting in serious injury or death. Y 26 yr old son is driving this car now and I believe I should have been contacted with a remedy by now, considering the possible danger. I was told to file a complaint here.
