Received safety recall letter dated July 2016 for takata airbags but everytime that I contact multiple Chevy dealers they say that GM has not released this recall and is still arguing with NHTSA about the need for the recall. Meanwhile I am driving a vehicle that could kill me. It is fairly simple, either the airbags are the same defective technology as the ones recalled or not. Force them to get on with the recall repairs. I did contact my us repr phil roe's office on this matter and he suggested filing this complaint with NHTSA.
