Several months ago, perhaps a year, I received via mail a recall notice for the passenger airbag; however, there were no available parts to fix it. I haven't received any further information. I'm wondering what the status is? How do I get this repaired etc. Should I have the airbag disabled? Will anyone even perform that service?”
