Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2006 Toyota Tundra

Takata inflators Toyota notified me that replacement parts were available in my geographic area in February 2016. When I called to schedule an appointment, I was told that parts were not available until September 2016. This is an unacceptable time frame to repair a defective vehicle. Are there any other remedies?.

2006 Toyota Tundra. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair front passenger airbag inflator recall notice.

Takata recall I have been notified multiple times by physical usps mailer that my car needs to have the inflator replaced for the air bags. I followed the process 3 different times at which point I would be put in contact with folsom lake Toyota via telephone. Every time they stated that the part needed to be ordered so they would call me back on my cellphone to schedule the install when the part arrived. Years have gone by and they still never call me back, and claim the part needs to be ordered every time I do talk to someone.

Toyota is being dishonest and scamming consumers on the safety recall for the front passenger airbag inflator module. I received a recall letter on July 22 and called local Toyota dealer the same day. They set up an appointment on July 28 to take care of the recall. The letter from Toyota is written to cover their negligence and liability by stating to not use the passenger seat. This basically takes the vehicle out of use for many things a truck provides outside of a single driver. July 28 - the local Toyota dealer tells me after 2 hours that Toyota does not have the parts and I will need to come back at a later date. Again Toyota has limited or removed my ability to use the vehicle as intended. No date on parts were given by Toyota dealer. Call to Toyota USA customer experience center yields the following - Toyota states they told the dealers that parts are not available and do not know when they will be available. Toyota says the dealer should not have scheduled an appointment. Looks like Toyota can not get the basics of communications down. Bottom-line - Toyota is not doing the repairs, does not know when it will and vehicles have to be limited in use or not used based on the Toyota "strongly recommends" statement to not allow passengers. Now I have to wait and hope someone from Toyota contacts us when the parts are there as I have fulfilled my part to contact Toyota and return the truck.

Takata recall. The recall started almost a year ago for the los angeles area. The suggestion Toyota gave me until the inflator is available is to transport no person in the front passenger seat. This is our adventure vehicle: snowboarding, kayaking, road biking, mountain biking, camping, scuba diving, etc. I do all of the things with my wife and friends. Am I really expected to transport no one in the front passenger seat for this long? it is completely unfair to put my family and friends either at risk or to make it almost impossible to use my truck the way it was intended to be used. My complaint is that it is taking too long to get the inflator needed for Toyota to fix this dangerous problem.

"takata inflator recall" Toyota dealers have not replaced the recalled inflators on my vehicle. This puts us in danger of aforementioned air bag inflator, causing a dangerous injury. We need assistance.
