Description of the problem	Takata recall--just received a notice today in the mail, march 20, 2017, from subaru that my forester has a defective "passenger side frontal airbag containing... Ammonium nitrate." i am advised in this letter of the danger this presents, and that "parts are not available at this time" and might not be available until december." i am advised, "until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat." how ridiculous is that???? For a period of possibly nine months, no one can sit in the front passenger seat. Surely, the car companies can do better than this. I've been in touch with my dealership. They (no surprise) will have to get back to me. This is ridiculous and unacceptable, and i'm a fan of subarus.

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.
