Description of the problem	Takata recall -my vin is [xxx]. I live in hawaii where humidity is a factor in everyday life, hawaii should be in priority group 1 without question due to this factor alone. My 2003 dodge ram 1500 is in an hah area yet it follows behind "safer" vehicles in non-hah areas. I bought this truck two months ago unaware that it was unsafe and affected by the recall. In my opinion the vehicle is unsafe to drive and not road worthy. So now i have a $10,000 yard ornament, there is no way i would feel safe driving my family in this truck. The excessive wait time for parts is unacceptable as we need a vehicle to complete the requirements of our daily lives... Ie.... Making a payment on a truck i can't drive. Not having a safe vehicle drive severely cripples our ability to earn money and put food on our table. We live in hawaii in probably the most humid climate in the united states, being that failure was much more prevalent in humid climates it is in no way safe to drive. I will be contacting the factory immediately following the submission of this complaint. Further information puts my vehicle in priority group 2, really? In hawaii the most humid place in the u. S.? Unacceptable on every level. Please get the factory to either repair or replace my vehicle, if there were an injury to myself or my family no amount of money could ease the pain of our family.... Do you get that this is about the safety of our families not money!!!! No failure to date. Vehicle parked because of this issue. Complaint date 12/22/15 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
