    Air bag recall: i have been getting recall notices for years. I have notified toyota many times that i no longer own this vehicle!!! It was traded in to toyota of lewisville tx in october 25, 2014. This is bordering on harrassment! It is also a waste of money. I recently recieved a notice via fedex!! Please update your records.
