| Description of the problem | Recalled in july for defective airbag inflator which could rupture and lead to metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants. This is more likely to occur if vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. We live in florida and my husband uses this truck to build swimming pools-lots of driving. This delay is unacceptable, called to get on the "waiting list" 7/14/15. Called again today, they told me it "could be months to a year" because the manufacturer only allows them to order 1-2 parts per month. |
