A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Takata recall, I received two separated recalls for my vehicle the dealer I called for service has the driver airbag inflator but does not have a clue when the passenger airbag inflator will be available. I received the P78/NHTSA 14V770 over a year ago and it stated that I should contact a dealer for service on or after February 23, 2015. It is now February 18, 2016 and neither the dealer nor Chrysler can give me any idea when the parts will be available. I am waiting for both parts to be available before I have any repairs completed on my vehicle
