Why can't the federal government get all car manufactures, using "takata airbags" to recall all of their models to at least check for problems? Limiting the recall to specific "humid states" is stupid as people travel from a "good state" to a "humid state', on the list! So far subaru does not list the 2009 forester as a model with problems!
