| Description of the problem | Takata recall - we rec'd a recall notice back on july 2016 but the dealer has not rec'd the replacement parts. I contacted gm chevrolet and i understand gm is saying we are not at risk with the airbags based on their findings? Why the recall? Waiting on nhsta to change their decision on the recall? I'm confused... Is there a recall or not? 2 years and still no resolution? What would make the chevrolet tahoe takata air bags safe but the honda's we own, not safe and were replaced quickly by the dealer? My understanding is the chemical in the air bags breaks down... Is there something special with the 2008 chevrolet tahoe where this does not occur? We live in georgia - high humidity! It should not take 2+ years to determine if the air bags should be replaced after a safety recall is issued... I hope they are safe... I am not sure who to believe. |
