| Description of the problem | Takata recall: i received notice of a recall from subaru for the passenger side airbag but the recall action is wholly inadequate. They say it will be one year before the parts are available (march 2018) and until then don't let anyone ride in the front passenger seat. Are they serious? That completely destroys the value of the vehicle for resale and renders it fairly useless for most transportation as i frequently have a passenger. Tried calling subaru but they simply took my phone number by automated response and have not called back. |
