Takata recall. I received 2 recall notices within the last year about air bag inflators. I took my car to a local Toyota twice but without any parts being replaced. The most recent notice I got is still about airbag inflator. In the letter, it says the inflator on my car needs to be replaced regardless of the inspection results. Well I took my car to a local Toyota dealership, they inspected it and told me my car is fine, and no replacement is necessary. Please confirm if my car is affected with the takata airbag recall, thanks.
I received a safety recall notice to inspect the front passenger airbag inflator module back in 2013. Upon taking the above vehicle to the simi valley Toyota dealer for this inspection, the manager informed me that they did not have to inspect my airbag inflator module. In 2014 I received another safety recall notice to inform me that this front passenger airbag inflator module now needed to be replaced, but they did not have the parts to do so. The Toyota corporation stated they would inform me when the parts were available. In 2015 I received another safety recall notice to inform me that they had the parts and that I could go to any Toyota dealer to have this replacement done. On June 18, 2015, I contacted the simi valley Toyota dealership to set up an appointment to comply with the safety recall notice. I was advised that they would not have that part in until Friday, June 26, 2015. I made an appointment for June 26, 2015 and dropped my car off to have the airbag inflator module replaced. Six hours later, I was contacted to pick up my car and informed that they did not replace the front passenger airbag inflator module-they only inspected it. I was informed by the manager that my airbag did not need to be replaced per their records. I asked for a copy of their records, but the manager stated she could not provide me with anything to support that only an inspection of the module was needed-instead of the replacement per the safety recall notice from the Toyota corporation. I showed the manager my copy of the recall notice, but she still maintained that it only needed to be inspected-not replaced. I am concerned that simi valley Toyota dealership is not complying with the safety recall notices properly. I am also concerned that any front passenger in my car could be injured! please advise how to proceed with safety recall.

In April, 2013 Toyota announced a safety recall to inspect and, if necessary, replace the front passenger airbag inflator. It has been 2 years, Toyota has not authorized the Toyota dealerships to perform this defect.
On the year 2013 I went to this Toyota dealer: adriel auto carr 693 km 1. 0, cruce DE la virjencita, dorado, pr 00646, united states phone:(787) 626-3838 hours: open today · 7:00 am – 7:00 pm in order to replace and complete safety recall for front passenger airbag inflator module. In about 15 minutes after coming in, I was told it was not needed to be replaced. This Friday 24th October 2014 I returned after receiving another one of your warning letters letting me know it was never completed as directed in the prior letter they were shown by me that day. I waited for 6 hours before being told by the mechanic, not the representative that took care of me first, that after bringing the whole airbag system down on that side, they realized they did not have the parts necessary to make the replacement possible. Now, I am supposed to wait until they call me to have this done "sometime later".
