Takata recall. The driver's side ammonium nitrate inflator is now suspect according to toyota. A replacement part will not be in the pipeline for quite a while at best. Toyota refuses to remove the explosive because it's a "safety item." it defies common sense. I want it disabled until they can fix it. What kind of moron would drive around with a loaded gun aimed at this head? Are you guys listening?
