2004 Toyota Avalon

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS NOTIFIED IN JANUARY 2015 OF ADDITIONAL RECALL BY TOYOTA. THE EOG WORK WAS DONE PREVIOUSLY. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES ON AND OFF WHEN TRAVELING WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER ONLY. THE LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON WHEN DRIVEN BY JUST THE DRIVER AND NO FRONT PASSENGER. MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER RIDE IN THE VEHICLE OUT OF FEAR OF AIR BAG DEPLOYING. HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM TOYOTA INSTRUCTING US TO BRING VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECALL WORK. THE JANUARY 2015 NOTICE OF RECALL STATED WE WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS TO FIX AIRBAG ISSUE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. MY MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND EVIDENCE OF PROBLEMS WHEN HE CHECKED ERROR CODES ON VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TRAVELING WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. WE WOULD LIKE THE ISSUE ADDRESSED PROMPTLY BY TOYOTA.
