    I received a letter from toyota about a safety recall mid summer. It said i would receive a second letter when a remedy was available and i have heard nothing since.

If this happened metal fragments could strike the driver or other passengers resulting in serious injury…

    Takata air bag recall. I have tried for months to get my vehicle repaired. I have gotten the runaround from my local dealer. Toyota customer service seems unable to help. Both keep telling me the part will be in next week, but next week never comes. If the situation poses a risk of serious injury or death as is stated in my recall notices, it would seem they could get in gear and fix the problem within a reasonable…
