6 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

Takata recall: I received a letter from Lexus in February 2017 indicating a recall on the takata inflators. The letter states that until a remedy becomes available that no occupant be in the front passenger seat. It further states that I will be notified when the remedy becomes available. This remedy is not practical as it is our only vehicle and impossible for us to get around without a passenger in the front seat. I am very surprised to hear that this is the recommended solution. When do you expect to have the solution and can the fix be prioritized so that I am closer to the top of the list?.
