Takada recall. It is unacceptable that at this point it had been years since i received a recall notice and there are still not parts available to replace my passenger airbag. I am expecting another child and will have no choice but to but a passenger in the front passenger seat. Why is toyota nothe being required to replace these airbags more quickl?
