Takata recall 3 years in to this recall, i have received at least 3 notifications of this issue from tesla. i have repeatedly requested service to address the recall and have been told "there are no parts" and "it's not your car's turn in line yet." i feel that 3 years is too long a time period to be considered "reasonable" for addressing this problem. this is potentially a safety-of-life issue in a daily-driver car!
