“Takata inflators. I went and got my fuel pump recall completed months ago and my local dealer didn't have the parts to complete the airbag recall. They said it takes about a month or two to receive the part and it has been much longer than that and they still aren't able to complete the recall on my vehicle. My airbag light has recently come on and I saw that there is also a recall for a clock spring. I got my car checked by a mechanic and was told I would need a clock spring replacement. …”
