“TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES WITHIN THE LAST YEAR ABOUT AIR BAG INFLATORS. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA TWICE BUT WITHOUT ANY PARTS BEING REPLACED. THE MOST RECENT NOTICE I GOT IS STILL ABOUT AIRBAG INFLATOR. IN THE LETTER, IT SAYS THE INFLATOR ON MY CAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF THE INSPECTION RESULTS. WELL I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, THEY INSPECTED IT AND TOLD ME MY CAR IS FINE, AND NO REPLACEMENT IS NECESSARY. PLEASE CONFIRM IF MY CAR IS AFFECTED WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, THANKS.”
