Takata recall I received written and email notification from Subaru this week (12/6/16) that my front passenger air bag inflator was subject to recall. Although the note claimed to be a "2nd notification", it is not. I have received no previous notification from Subaru that my airbag was dangerous and so have been driving with passengers. I now see that Subaru knew my airbag was dangerous one year ago but failed to inform me. I assume this was deliberate as they knew they did not have parts and did not want to have to provide me with a car that was safe to drive while they waited for the parts. This has put my family members at risk.
Takata recall: notice was received 19 Feb. 2016, NHTSA recall no. 15v-323, Subaru recall campaign wqr53. Autonation Subaru west, 16351 west colfax avenue, golden, CO 80401, (855) 503-3943, will not even enter my car in a wait queue. I must repeatedly call them until they have the inflator "in their hands" and then they will provide an appointment for me. More than 60 days have elapsed and I still cannot carry a front seat passenger! Subaru of America, inc. Should know this! thank you, ernst a.
