Description of the problem	In july 2015 i received a notice of recall campaign no. 15v-381: driver side front air bag module. It said if deployed metal fragments could strike the driver or other passengers causing death or serious injury. It said i'd get a 2nd letter when the parts were available. I've never gotten the second letter, and when i called my dealer at the beginning of this month to schedule the repair they said that the parts were still not available! That's almost a year later. I'm afraid to drive the car but i have no choice!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
