Ntsha recall # 16V-668 was issued for my car last September. Mopar told me they would have parts available for repairs this spring. It is now summer, and they still do not have replacement parts available. How long are they allowed to go with replacing the defective part?

I received an email months ago that there was a recall on my airbags and an issue with the seatbelts that could cause injury during a crash. A just recently received an email from carmax warning me of the same. I never received a remedy-is-available email so I looked it up on this site and was informed there is no remedy available because the recall is incomplete. It has been close to a year, and I would like this remedied so I and my passengers are as safe as possible in my car. Thank you!
