| Description of the problem | Takata recall i was notified in june 2016, that my truck was part of the takata passenger-side airbag recall. I contacted the local dealer and was told on 7/7/2016, that they would notify me when parts were available. According to the paperwork on the filing, i am in priority group 2. It was my understanding, that i could expect the recall repair to my vehicle to be repaired by the end of 2016. It is now 3 days from the end of the year and i have received no further notifications from dodge about the recall or any information about when i can expect it to be completed. In reading some of the information, it appears that it may now be fixed by march 2017. I understand part supply is part of the issue, but the manufacturers have known about this for several years now and should be prepared to fix this in a much more timely manner than up to 10 months (march 2017) later. I experienced a similar delay in getting the drivers side airbag repaired. Can i please get some information on what the nhtsa is doing to push the manufacturers to repair unsafe vehicles in a more timely manner? I am waiting for a reply from the dealer to see if they have any more information. |
