Takata recall. I feel that toyota has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable time. I have been waiting over 3 months to have my air bag replaced. It is very disconcerting that we have been advised to replace the defect as soon as possible but we are unable to because the service centers do not have the product in stock.
