| Description of the problem | Takata recall. There is an airbag recall that affects my yaris. The deployment of the passenger airbag can send hot metal along with the airbag during deployment. Toyota recommends that no one sit in the passenger seat until the airbag is replaced. The recall came out in early june for my yaris, yet by early october there is no solution to the problem. I also have a corolla that had the same airbag issue, but the faulty airbag was replaced several months ago. I don't know why there is no solution for the yaris at this time and it is causing me hardship because i can't have a passenger sit in the front right seat. My toyota dealer said that there is no anticipated replacement date for the airbag, so the issues i have will continue for at least the near future. I am very frustrated with the response by toyota on this issue and would like to have my yaris fixed so i can use the front passenger seat. |
