Description of the problem	I received a recall notice for passenger air bag inflators which may be defective when in contact with moisture. I received this notice 8/15/15 but the date of the recall on the website is 6/15/15 - a difference of 2 months! I called the toyota recall hotline and was informed that there is no remedy for my location, even though i informed the representative that my car was purchased used and came from a beach area in southern california - a humid and moist area. I was informed that there is no estimated date when parts will be available in my location but to not allow passengers in the front seat. This is certainly not reasonable and very inconvenient. It is ridiculous to have a recall and not have prepared by ordering necessary parts. I am extremely dissatisfied with the "toyota experience" and am more than peeved that i have to wait for who knows how long to fix the situation. Until then, what do i do? I use my car for work and frequently drive clients, friends and relatives to various locations.
