TAKATA RECALL. APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF AIRBAG RECALL WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTACT A LEXUS DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND HAVE BEEN TOLD REPEATEDLY THAT NO "FIX" IS AVAILABLE. DUE TO THE STRONG WARNING OF THE DANGERS ATTACHED TO THIS RECALL, I QUESTION WHY ARE LIVES BEING PUT IN DANGER WHEN THE FIX SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE RELATIVELY SOON AFTER NOTIFICATION. !!!!
