Takata recall: I did not receive a recall notice about my airbags and I'm trying to find out if my car was ever recalled for defective airbags. Toyota will only tell me if the car is under a recall presently. If it ever was, the notice might have been sent to the previous owner that I bought the car from in 2001. If there ever was a recall on the airbags, doesn't toyota still need to replace them??
