Today I finally got...not a priliminary notification or some such thing....but the ACUUAL RECALL LETTER for the driver and passenger seat tracks issue. Yay!

Good for you nook! I got that letter in August of this year lol.

I am still waiting for the actual remedy letter for the spiral cable recall/ airbag light. Light has been on since august and Toyota needs to hustle up because it's not safe to drive anymore.

I haven't gotten that letter either. However, an Assistant Service Manager at Fred Haas Toyota (one of my two local dealers) asked me (while I was checking on the status of both recalls) -- "is the light was on (the SRS light)?" I said yes. He said 'Toyota doesn't want you driving around with a system that won't activate, so make an appointment and we'll put in a different spiral cable that will reset the light (no charge). Then when the cable that Toyota has designated for the fix comes in, we'll put that one in (again no charge)'. I made an appointment for the next day,' they put the 'interim' cable in, and the system now works -- the light is off. You might ask your local dealer to do this. It may depend on the size of the dealership. Fred Haas is the #1 Tundra dealer in the world, and the #2 Toyota dealer overall in the U.S...they don't care about what to them is 'nickel and dime stuff'.
