NHTSA Complaint #10934271 — 2010 LEXUS IS 350C

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM LEXUS APPROXIMATELY MAY, 2016 ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL WHICH STATED THAT THE FIX WOULD BE DONE SOON AND TO NOT ALLOW A PASSENGER TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HOPED TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS IN JANUARY, 2017, AT THE EARLIEST. AS OF TODAY, 12/9/2016, NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED TO ME. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A TIMELY REMEDY, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR IS ONLY PARTIALLY USABLE AND IS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE. A TV REPORT TONIGHT STATED THAT THE CARS MOST AT RISK ARE 6 YEARS OLD OR OLDER AND LOCATED IN THE SOUTHEAST. MY CAR IS IN THE HIGHEST RISK CATEGORY AS IT IS A 2010 MODEL AND I LIVE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE TO SPEED LEXUS UP WILL BE MOST APPRECIATED! THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *DL *JB *TR
