Consumer Description
TAKATA RECALL FIRST WE RECEIVED A RECALL VERY SCARY LETTER INCLUDING NOT TO RIDE ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THAT WAS ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO. THEN WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER THEY WOULD CALL AS SOON AS THEY HAD REPLACEMENT BAG. THAT WAS AROUND FEB 2017 THEN WE FINALLY LOOKED UP ON WEBSITE TO SEE WHEN MANUFACTURER WOULD MAKE PART AVAILABLE IT SAID SEPTEMBER 2017 . WE JUST CALLED SEWELL LEXUS IN DALLAS WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. NOW THEY SAY THE RISK IS MINIMAL AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL MAKE PART AVAILABLE FOR CARS THAT ARE AT GREATER RISK . THAT MAY MAKE SENSE TO THEM BUT NOT TO US AS CONSUMERS. ANY RISK IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND WE PURCHASED A LEXUS FOR SAFETY.
