Description of the problem	Takata recall i received a recall notice from subaru regarding my front passenger airbag. The notice included a note that the front passenger seat is unsafe for use until the airbag has been replaced. However, the notice also stated that no replacement parts are currently available. I have tried several times to reach subaru 'corporate customer care' about this issue and am unable to reach any representative by phone. I have emailed the same office and, so far, have received no response. When i called the local authorized dealer from whom i purchased the car and was told they have no update on when replacement parts might be available but they anticipate it could be "a few months". In the meantime i have a car that is unsafe for normal use, and a manufacturer that is both unable to replace defective parts and seemingly unwilling to answer questions regarding the issue.
