Takata recall I received a warning not to have a passenger sit in the front seat, but what about me, the driver? I have been driving in constant fear of getting hit by another car, causing the driver side air bag to inflate, and possibly dying or getting severely injured. I live in hawaii with high humidity. It is almost the end of 2016 and I still have not received notice of bringing my car in. Air bags
