Takata recall. I received a safety recall notice from Lexus many months ago; January, I believe, but have not yet received a follow-up notice for repair. When I contacted my local dealer today, I was told that repair is still not available and I have to continue waiting. My complaint is that this process is taking so long. Lexus recommends that I do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat. I think to do so for ten months is totally unrealistic.

Takata recall received a recall notice by Lexus in January, 2017 advising me that that I should not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat until there is a remedy. To date, there is no remedy even though the anticipated remedy date was this month, September, 2017. I have not been able to allow a front seat passenger in my car since January, 2017 and this has caused a great inconvenience for my family. Lending my car not fully usable and the costs associated with that problem. Manufacture recall # is H2A and NHTSA recall # 17V006.
