Takata recall. I'm very concerned that the 2011 4runner I purchased in july is involved in the recall and there is no remedy to fix it at this time? What are my other options? I don't want to ride in a car that is unsafe to drive. I was not given all the correct information during my hunt for a new car and am unsure how to proceed. The car originated from florida and was transferred to me in colorado through carmax. Air bags · reported at 56,000 miles
