TAKATA RECALL: WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON OUR 2011 4RUNNER OVER A YEAR AGO. WE HAVE INQUIRED AND OPENED AN ISSUE FOR IT WITH THE DEALERSHIP, BUT ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WE ARE VERY FRUSTRATED, AS THIS IS THE PRIMARY VEHICLE WE USE WHEN COMMUTING AND GOING ON TRIPS, BUT CANNOT DO SO. WE WERE OFFERED A RENTAL, BUT I AM CONCERNED WITH LEAVING OUR VEHICLE ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT. WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL YESTERDAY, STATING THAT THE COMPANY WHO MAKES THE AIR BAGS, TAKATA, HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY IN THE US. WE ARE STUCK N A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE NOW AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, JUST TO GET LOANER VEHICLES FOR A FEW DAY TRIPS WE HAVE DONE. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE INCONVENIENCE AND WE WANT THE ISSUE RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2011 AND BEEN TAKING IT TO ALLEN TOYOTA IN GULFPORT, MS FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. LAST WEEK, AT THE 120,000 MILE OIL CHANGE THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. I CALLED TOYOTA HQ AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2016. I ASKED WHY I HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED PREVIOUSLY, SINCE . (I HAVE NOT CHANGED ADDRESSES). JADE, THE TOYOTA REP SAID THAT THE DEALERSHIP PROBABLY DID NOT INFORM ME BECAUSE THEY MAY NOT HAVE HAD A REPLACEMENT PART. SHE ALSO SO THAT IT WAS THE NHTSA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM ME OF THE RECALL. I FIND THE FORMER REASON A POOR EXCUSE SINCE IT RESULTED IN ME AND MY FAMILY DRIVING IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR OVER A YEAR. IF THE LATTER REASON IS TRUE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NHTSA DID NOT SEND ME A RECALL NOTICE. THANK YOU FOR ANY INVESTIGATION, EXPLANATION AND FORMAL COMPLAINT NOTICE TO TOYOTA.

TOYOTA TAKATA RECALL AND SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY: 2011 TOYOTA 4RUNNER HORN STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO NHTSA, IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. ON SEPT 2, 2017, TOYOTA DEALER DIAGNOSED SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY AS CAUSE OF HORN FAILURE. GIVEN THE FAULTY SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY AS THE CAUSE OF THE HORN FAILURE AND THE APPARENT CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION, THIS FAULTY PART RAISES TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES: NO HORN, POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE AIRBAG. FOLLOWING THE DEALER SERVICE, WE FILED A CONCERN WITH TOYOTA ON SEPT 5, 2017. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE INSISTED ON SEPT. 12, 2017 THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.
