Takata recall -- when will parts be available to fix my car's faulty, recalled airbag? This is creating a great deal of stress, inconvenience, and hazard for my family. A reasonable amount of time has passed and takata has not rectified this situation. Millions of people are on the roads with deadly airbags. How will this not be perceived as a regulatory failure?

Takata recall; i received a letter from subaru in february 2016 stating that my front seat passenger is in danger of death from this recall. It has been 10 months since receiving this letter and i have not been contacted as to how to resolve this issue.
