“Takata recall:still waiting for a replacement part for a recall that was started july 1st. I love several miles from a dealership and don't have a lot of time to make several trips to get recalls fixed on my truck. Both airbags have been recalled for this truck (r25/s43) but only r25 has the parts available. When will these parts be available??”
