2011 Toyota Tacoma airbags complaints

Takata recall should be extended to 2011 toyota tacoma. The horn stopped working so I took the car into a toyota certified mechanic. They said this was caused by spiral cable problem with the air bag in the steering wheel. They had seen this problem several times before and said it was a known issue for them with the toyota tacoma, but not covered by a recall yet. Given that this is a known manufacturing defect - and results in a potentially life threatening air bag failure, the air bags should be recalled and replaced without cost to the owners. The problem developed over many months as the horn became increasingly intermittent until it completely stopped working.
Horn stopped working, so did the cruise control.airbag light is on sometimes dealer said I need a new clock spring and air bag because the horn switch is inside the airbag.
The horn stopped working, spiral cable is bad, which also affects the airbag. This has been recalled on all previous models of this generation tacoma and needs to be recalled for the 2011 as well

The spiral cable failed. The spiral cable connects the horn button and driver's airbag to the rest of the car. When it fails, the airbag and horn won't work. Toyota already recalled the spiral cable on '05-'09 tacoma's. The spiral cables are still failing, so they need to recall later years and fix them too.
