I had the safety recall, concerning the airbag inflator module, done on my car but now the airbag sensor light stays on.
Takata recall bought this vehicle about a year ago and have not received any notice on what to do to get this fixed.
Received urgent safety recall notice on 8/11/2014. called local dealer 8/12/2014 a.m. was told dealership only receives one (1) replacement part per week so i have to be put on waiting list. approximately 8 people ahead of me! the letter [xxx] , v.p. toyota north america sent your agency on june 19,2014, stated the recall notice would go to affected customers once "sufficient replacement parts become available". that was 8 weeks ago, yet they can still only send one part per week? this is unacceptable and potentially dangerous. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
