Takata recall why aren't parts available to fix this problem. How long can I expect to wait for a solution to this serious problem? Who is responsible if someone is injured as a result of this recall. Why isn't more being done about it. Why is this company still allowed to be in business?

I received a safety recall from saab about the possibility of the inflator of the airbag rupturing and metal fragments could pass through the cushion. They do not currently have a solution to the problem. What can I do about this? How long do I have to wait til it is fixed or something happens? Can they take as much time as they need to fix the car without having any responsibilities? Any information will help. Thank you.
