"takata recall" called dealer-(gustman Subaru, appleton, WI) tried to make early appointment to replace passenger side air bag. Dealer is swamped and my scheduled appointment is for September 25, 2019, which is a long way off from today March 18, 2019. Want to make sure someone knows about the delay if something happens to me or my family. Consider this situation unacceptable!!!!!.
Takata recall I received notice of the recall on 3/15 and called for an appointment today (3/18). I was told the first appointment is 6/11-3 months out. How am I to drive a vehicle with my wife and kids if we cannot use the passenger seat for 3 months-absurd. The notice says how dangerous it could be if the passenger side airbag inflates- what does Subaru expect its owners to do for 3 months while we wait? my dealer is (xxxx) in madison WI.

We got a recall notice on Friday, March 15, 2018 concerning the passenger side airbag that said no one should ride in that seat until fixed. We immediately callled fitgerald Subaru in rockville and were told they didn't have the proper parts and we could not schedule a time until may! this is absurd to issue a safety recall and not be able to fix it. Recall notice txb18; NHTSA 19v008.
When my wife sits in the passenger seat the majority of the time the passenger side air bag will not be turned on. My wife is roughly 5'2" and 120 lbs. Dealer claims there is nothing wrong but that the sensors can be overly sensitive with smaller people. This is a safety issue as the bag will not deploy in an accident if it is off.
