    Inflator recall. I took my car into a toyota dealership in early may and was told the part would be in by the end of may. On july 2nd they have yet to get the part or contact me about any information. The recall info i received in the mail said if they have not done it in a reasonable amount of time to file a complaint. I believe that almost 2 months is plenty of time.

    Takata recall- i contacted my local dealer -arlington toyota- and they told me that they do not have the part to replace my front passenger inflator assembly, so i will have to drive my car until the part comes in. I was under the impression that the car was unsafe to drive. Other dealers have taken the affected car and provided a rental car while waiting for the new parts

    Takata recall the fact that you are losing the use of the front passenger seat for an undetermined amount of time is more than inconvenient. I have been a corolla owner since 1982. Something needs to be done to get this dangerous situation corrected.

    Front passenger airbag inflator module. Possibly "takata recall", the letter i received didn't mention that. Today (4/15/2016) i received a letter from toyota. The letter isn't dated. It mentions that the airbag inflator module needs to be replaced and that passengers in my car have been, potentially, at serious risk. This is the first and, so far, only correspondence that i have received on this. The letter says…
