My Toyota Tundra is part of the air bag recall. My Toyota dealership does not have the part and may not have it for 10 days. In the intern, they have removed my passenger airbag and now no one can ride in the passenger side front seat until the recall repair has been completed. I have a family of 5 so now I can only ride 3 passengers in my vehicle. It has become a major inconvenience for me and my family. I requested a rental from my dealership but they declined. I contacted Toyota directly yesterday(1-888-270-9371) and was told to expect a call back within 24 hours. The 24 hours have passed and no contact back from Toyota.
