TAKATA RECALL. IN JULY OF 2016, I RECEIVED A NOTICE INFORMING ME OF A DANGEROUS, FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR IN MY VEHICLE.

IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2017, AND I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED SUCH A COMMUNICATION; I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS UNAVAILABILITY OF REMEDIAL REPAIRS ONLINE. THE 15+ MONTH WAIT TIME TO HAVE THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT CORRECTED I CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE.
