AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE RECALL NOTICES WAS RECEIVED IN APRIL, 2015. BUT THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE RECALL NOTICES SAID "TOYOTA IS PREPARING SUFFICIENT PARTS TO SUPPORT INSTALLATION OF SUB-WIRE HARNESS....WE WILL SEND ANOTHER NOTIFICATION WHEN PREPARATION ARE COMPLETE". MY CONCERN IS THAT ME AND MY FAMILY ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE RECALL NOTICE WENT ON TO SAY "THE FRONT AIRBAG AND/OR SEATBELT PRETENSIONERS COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY" MY QUESTION IS WHEN IS THIS PROBLEMS GOING TO BE FIXED. I HAVE NOT TAKING THIS CAR ON A MAJOR TRIP SINCE THIS RECALL BECAUSE I FEEL MY FAMILY IS AT RISK. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE TO THIS INQUIRY. THIS RECALL CORRECTION NEED TO BE COMPLETED. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
