Description of the problem	Takata recall... I was notified in july 2016 of a recall on takata airbag inflators installed in my vehicle. This recall stated that the propellant in the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. When this propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflator can rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. As of november 2017, there is still no remedy available for this recall for a defective item that could result in death for me or my family. I have called about the availability of a remedy several times, with the most recent call taking place in august 2017, when i was assured that the solution would be available by the end of october. It is still not available. I live in alabama and have owned my truck for 7 years, so my airbag propellant has been exposed to the exact conditions and length of exposure that could result in death as stated in the recall furthermore, it angers me that the recall states that this propellant, when exposed to hot and humid conditions for an extended period of time, could result in death but then goes on to state that "the vehicle is presently safe to drive". I think that gm and takata have had plenty of time to establish a remedy for the problem. It is obvious to me that neither company cares about the safety of their customers. Some action needs to be taken against these companies to ensure that they take action to repair these potentially deadly problems.
