Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Recall states serious injury of death may occur if air bag deploys. This seriously limits the utility of the vehicle since no one can ride in the front passenger seat - limiting the passengers to four. Toyota has made no effort to mitigate this problem - an unknown replacement date is not a good faith effort. Toyota needs to turn off the passenger air bags in the affected vehicles. Two door trucks have switches to turn off the air bag when children are in the passenger seat. Why not simply disconnect the switch so that the air bag will not deploy. To not do so, does not make sense. I know that if involved in a crash, air bags can save lives - except in this case when they will do more harm than good. Toyota has absolved itself of liability by providing notification - but 5 months without taking any kind of action to mitigate the problem is excessive. It is time to remedy the problem or i would suggest that you tell toyota they need to provide me with a new truck - that would probably get their attention. (is there any other agency i can contact to register a complaint?)

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
