I contacted local dealer and was told repair parts had not been received, so repair could not be performed. It is now january 2017. The recall is still incomplete, the remedy is not yet available because the parts are not available. I am concerned for the safety of myself and my family. I would like the passenger airbag inflator to be replaced per the recall.”
