Takata recall i purchased this car in january 2019 and since that time have received numerous mailed notices from toyota "safety recall follow-up notice." i have made at least 8 phone calls to toyota and been promised repeatedly that i will be contacted for airbag replacement...but have not been contacted. each person with whom i speak faithfully promises that i will be contacted, then nothing. i live in rural alaska on an island without a toyota dealer. the closest toyota dealer is in anchorage. getting my vehicle to anchorage will entail a 12-24 hour ferry ride and a 2-8 hour highway drive.
