Description of the problem	Takata recall -- repair delays -- how worried should i be? My 2010 subaru forester is subject to the takata airbag recall for its front passenger airbag. My subaru was purchased new in california in august 2010; it is registered in california; and i have driven it exclusively in the san francisco bay area, except for a week-long trip to southern california in july 2014. According to your "amended annex a", my vehicle appears to be in priority group 6 for the recall; i confess i don't know how long that means it may take before my car gets repaired. My local subaru dealer has told me i should contact them in the second half of january 2017 for further news as to when the replacement parts will be ready for my vehicle. They had previously told me they would have the parts in november, and for all i know, they may delay things further when i contact them in january. In the meantime, i have been advised via material from subaru that i should not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat until the recall work has been completed on my vehicle. This has been an embarrassing inconvenience for myself and my family, and although i'm willing to do what is necessary for safety's sake, i must wonder if the risk for my vehicle is truly such as to require this measure, or if subaru is simply acting out of an extreme abundance of caution to avoid any possible liability. Given the specific part of california where i live and have driven this vehicle -- hardly an area of excessive humidity, i would think, given our long-standing drought conditions here -- do you still concur that i really do need to keep everyone out of the front passenger seat until the airbag has been replaced?
