    I was notified by the dealership that a recall for passenger side airbags was currently in place. When i tried to make an appointment, they told me it would be a 4-6 month wait! That's a long time to be driving an unsafe vehicle or are they discriminating against an older model toyota? Anything i can do to speed this up?

So while it is great that nhtsa has helped to get to the stage of a recall, if the repairs cannot be completed, it is not a good thing. Can you help me with this problem? (in other words, help me find a place to get the repair or tell me who to contact at toyota?) i am…
