Description of the problem	To the administrator of national highway traffic safety administration: i received the undated airbag recall on toyota letterhead approximately 12-1-14. I took time off work, made an appointment on 12-15-14 with mossy toyota, 4555 mission bay dr., san diego, ca 92019. They said they did not have the part, only for gulf states. I returned on 1-9-15 to have my airbag disabled and the cya warning sign installed. Within a few days the same agency called to let me know toyota has suspended remedies. In feb. 2015 national news reports another recall for a replacement part i have yet not received. I called toyota corp. Office to get a 2 hour runaround, having me repeat my ownership and vin#, with their main emphasis on me naming the original owner, no replacement parts in the future, not their problem, letter comes from dmv info. I bought the vehicle from mossy nissan 2/2006 and do not have the original owner information. I did learn my auto was built in texas so it is considered gulf state. My complaint is this: i have taken unpaid time off work to remedy a national recall. I am driving a car that i cannot carry family and friends safely. I have no remedy given by toyota. Please assist in the solution. Thank you, [xxx], registered owner for 9 years. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

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.
