TAKATA RECALL - IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING CONDITION. IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT MAY KILL ME IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN WILL THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS BE AVAILABLE? WHY IS THE MANUFACTURER NOT MANDATED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? I PERSONALLY THINK THAT SIX MONTHS IS MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TIME TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RECTIFIED.
