“Takata recall: I received a notice that my car is involved in the massive takata recall a couple of months ago, and here it is september, and I haven't been contacted to get this corrected. The risk of metal fragments hitting a passenger is unsettling to say the least. Why is this taking so long to get rectified? God forbid I am involved in a front end collision with a passenger. Please advise as to when I can expect this to be resolved. Thanks”
