Takata recall my 2010 subaru forester was recalled june 10, 2016. It is now oct 25, 2016 and absolutely nothing has been done so far. My local dealer told me that they still do not have any replacement airbags. Subaru of america is not replacing the defective takata airbags in a reasonable manner and you need to find out when they plan on doing something.

The manufacturer has not given a rememdy for this recall yet but apparently they tell me that no one can ride in my passengers seat until its fixed. Its been about 4 months since i received a letter from subaru regarding the recall. Thats too long to not be able to have a passenger in my vehicle. I have an elderly relative that i have to chaffeur around in the back seat due to this lack or rememdy or repair.
