Takata inflator - this recall was issued on may 24th, 2016. I am not satisfied that a solution is not offered and new parts not installed. We use this vehicle daily and for my children to still be at risk of injury or even death appalls me that this is close to a year and no resolution. I am thankful we did not have an accident yet but this should not be just a complaint for after the fact. We need this resolved before someone is hurt or killed and at that point a it wont just be an informal complaint but a full fledged law suit.

Recalled in July for defective airbag inflator which could rupture and lead to metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants. This is more likely to occur if vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. We live in florida and my husband uses this truck to build swimming pools-lots of driving. This delay is unacceptable, called to get on the "waiting list" 7/14/15. Called again today, they told me it "could be months to a year" because the manufacturer only allows them to order 1-2 parts per month.
