Takata recall a recall letter for our vehicle was sent in july 2016 and it is now july 2017 and nothing has been done about the recall. This is very unacceptable. How can it take over a year to resolve this problem? This issue needs to be escalated so these vehicles can be repaired/fixed before some one else gets killed from the faulty passenger air bags.
