| Description of the problem | Takata recall - i received a recall notice on my 2003 dodge 1500 pickup, r26 / nhtsa 15v-312 around the end of may 2015. Contacted my dealer, said part is not available. Contacted dealer again today, still not available. What is going on? Why hasn't the parts been manufactured yet, it has been longer than 6 months? What are you doing waiting on, people to get killed? There has been no failure so far but who knows when the airbag might implode or when someone may have as accident and cause the airbag to implode. Nothing has happened yet so i can't put a date down, only the date of my complaint. I will say that i called the customer service number and i was told that if i was worried about someone getting hurt or killed riding as a passenger to have them ride in the back seat. Well i bought the truck to ride in and that includes someone riding in all the seats. |
