"takata recall" - received recall notice dated july 2016... But it stated that a 2nd notice/letter will be sent when parts become available and then can contact a dealer for repair... Meanwhile, now whenever I turn the car on, the airbag light comes on that I have to turn the ignition off and on again, hoping the airbag light doesn't show... And the fear that this airbag will explode and can actually kill you is so stressful.. Please please expedite these airbag replacement/repairs so they can be done sooner. It is now january 2017 and this is a daily occurrence.
