Takata recall. Today is 23 march 2019. The first date for a service appoiontment for a takata bag recall is in october 2019. Is a 7 month repair delay acceptable? The manufacturer recommends not using the passenger seat in the front of the vehicle. 7 months is a long time to put me or my wife in the rear seat.

Tamara recall: i recently called a nearby dealership in atlanta ga about receiving a notice about the airbag recall. I gave them my vin but they said that my particular car does not have an active recall for the airbag. However, when i check online at airbagrecall.com, i have the recall listed. The dealership said instead, i have a brake line corrosion up for recall. I wanted to make sure this is true.

It is now almost december 2016 and subaru has no further information about when the parts will be available. This is ridiculous and is making it so that i can't use my car when i need someone to…

We have received the mandatory recall letter of july 2016. The open-ended statement: "we will notify you when replacement parts are available" is insufficient. Why? Because we already have a recall notice for our 2013 leaf which is already three months old and thus far nothing has been done with that. I am angry because now the "family" car cannot be used as a family car! So the question is when?? Will parts be…
