Air bag recalled for 2006-2011 Lexus IS250/350.

So I got off the phone with my local dealership and they are not acknowledging this recall.
They said "Dont believe everything you read on the internet. If a recall is taking place, a letter will be sent out to your address."
How am I to go about resolving this with Lexus Canada? I do not feel safe driving around in a car that an airbag can deploy anytime and kill me.

That means that for 2006-2008 the recall will launch in Canada after December, 2016.
For 2009 models, the recall will launch in Canada after December, 2017.
For 2010-2011 models, the recall will launch in Canada after December, 2018.
Your call will not have an active recall on it until next year, Zynthe. That's when you'll be able to get the airbag replaced at your local Lexus dealer.

I'm in Texas with a build date of Feb. 2006......so I'm a prime candidate for getting to the front of the queue. Degradation happens in the 6-9 year period. I was going to take the IS on our annual road trip in July, now I have to fall back on another vehicle for the 8,000 mile trip. Never had an air bag deploy but don't feel like putting my wife in the murder seat.

Just now reading all about this. I'm getting quite nervous. I can't just "park" the car and wait and wait and wait for the fix to come in. Took delivery of my '06 in January of said year so it is getting old! Do I just trade it in? Or what? How can I disconnect the airbag? Do I really need to have it disconnected? Guess I'll ask my service adviser on Tues.
NUTS to the this whole mess!!!!! Sometimes I really miss my 1977 Corolla.
