"takata recall" we traveled to Louisiana to bury our family member on July 13, 2016. When we returned home we had a recall notice waiting for us (passenger airbag inflator). We were confused because we had already had both driver and passenger airbags worked on from recalls. We were told this is different, this is a recall on a recall. Basically, this is a interim notice and the dealership does not know when they will received a resolution to repair the airbag. This is our other main vehicle for transportation. Our other vehicle is our 2009 Scion xb which is on recall for the same problem. We are disgusted. We can not get any deadlines, we can not sit in the passenger seat and this problems is taking too long. We need some answers and we need them, now. We are senior citizens, we have our medical issues and we definitely do not need this kind of stress and inconvenience.
