Toyota is recalling several models including mine for a defective passenger side airbag. Apparently metal can burst through the airbag if it is deployed causing injury or death. They sent me a letter stating they are working on getting the parts for repair but don't know when that may be. They suggested that nobody ride in the front passenger seat until it can be fixed by an undetermined date. Not a satisfactory solution in my opinion.
