My toyota tacoma (2007) appears to qualify for the airbag recall but searching my VIN does not bring it up. The manufacturing facility, dates and VIN range all seem to match. How do I challenge this or appeal to have this corrected? The airbag light is constantly on I am told it will cost hundreds of dollars to fix the spiral spring. Please help!

Due to combination of the spiral cable design and characteristics unique to the chassis components of the tacoma, steering wheel vibration ('flutter') caused friction between the flexible flat cable (ffc) and the retainer in the spiral cable assembly in the steering wheel. This occurred in a ffc with sixteen-channel circuits and damaged certain circuits on the flat cable that provides connectivity to the driver's air bag module. As a result, connectivity was lost and the air bag warning lamp illuminated. In addition, the driver's air bag may have become deactivated, causing it to not deploy in the event of a crash. This could increase the risk of injury to the driver. The 2007 toyota tacoma with a ffc with seven channel-circuits have already been recalled for this problem. Indications of a developing problem was first noted through illumination of the airbag warning lamp illuminated after starting the vehicle and rotating the steering wheel. Vehicle mileage was approximately 125,000 miles at that time. Initially the lamp would cycle off and on with the frequency of the lamp in the on position increasing over time. This suggested that the loss of connectivity was a result of increased wear in certain circuits. Eventually the lamp would stay on continuously indicating that all connectivity was lost in the driver's airbag control module. Vehicle was taken to dealer for service at a mileage of 129,094 and the problem was corrected at a cost of $461.83 plus tax.

Air bag warning light stays on, code indicates defective spiral cable. Seems to be a common defect in newer tacomas and is a serious safety issue since the air bag will not deploy in an accident. Replacing these is apparently a profit maker for toyota, isn't it about time they were made to pay for this defect themselves, via a safety recall? Or do people have to die first?
