With a 2014 I'm not even expecting to hear anything for a long while......

This is the norm. A Honda in my family sat for just over 2 months. There were over 300 vehicles on the lot for the same reason. Plus a few that would be longer due to hail and other damage that was sustained while the car was sitting and waiting at the dealership.
Local rental companies are having a blast.

I think I would rather drive my own vehicle and just take a chance rather than let it sit at the dealership for months on end.
I played this game with GM before when they were updating Onstar modules. They wanted me to leave my truck in order for them to even order the new module. I refused to do that and retrieved the module numbers myself for them to order it. They called when it supposedly came in but when I got there it actually wasn't in and they insisted I leave the truck. That didn't happen and I never got that stupid Onstar module updated (I never used it anyway).

I know I know. Ultimately we use the passenger seat everyday and I have my two boys in car seats in the back. The chances of something happening is very minute but if something did happen I could not forgive myself. On a side note the Sequoia is nice lol.

My 2012 SR5P is clear too.

The VIN on my 2012 LE is still coming back as unaffected.
The latest recall update is through 2011 only. It is the combination of exposure to high humidity and/or temperature and time, the latter being the reason for not recalling all years immediately given that the supply of replacements is a problem. They are trying to replace the older bags first.
Toyota has said that the 2015 and 2016 4Runner use the same faulty passenger airbag, so expect to see the scope of the recalled model years increase in coming years.

Sorry to hear your 4Runner was flooded in the lot.
What dealership ?
LeBlanc Toyota was unaffected ...

Sounds to me like you're going to end up with a new truck.

A new 2016 4Runner that will still need a passenger airbag replacement at some point? Might as well drive that Sequoia forever. :cheer2:
