| Description of the problem | Takata recall - i received a safety recall notice regarding a takata-sourced passenger side frontal airbag. The manual that i received with my 2007 subaru impreza states that i have two (2) airbags (driver's and front passenger's frontal airbags) the notice states that parts are not currently available.. We'll notice you again when they are. It also states.. Until this is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat... It should also state " do not ride in the driver's seat". I need to ride in the driver's seat to secure groceries, supplies, and dr. Appointments. I sometimes have passengers with me. I did not purchase the vehicle to park it in the garage. Using the 800-782-2783 number for subaru of america there is a recording with a full mailbox.. No way to leave a message that i request and demand a corrected notice that i have 2 takata airbags in my vehicle and i want them replaced as soon as possible. The airbags in my vehicle are long past the expiration date of approximately 6 years with the chemical breaking down due to humidity and temperature fluctuations. It is unacceptable to issue an incorrect recall notice and unacceptable to stall on the replacement of these faulty airbags. Your website states that over 9,000,000 airbags have been replaced, but mine have not been replaced. If they have to work day and night to get corrected airbags available, then so be it. I sent an email to the service dept. Of timmons subaru and volkswagen of long beach, ca today advising the above. Thank you for your attention to this issue.
