I was told that it would take 30-90 days for a part to be delivered to my dealer. I received a recall notice about the airbag indicating that metal fragments could strike and potentially cause serious injury if my driver side airbag deploys. A thirty to ninety day wait is unacceptable.

I received a recall for the airbag P40/NHTSA 14V-354 at least 6-7 months ago. In July I was informed by king auto center, lihue, hi. That the parts were in. Then I received another recall, R25/NHTSA 15V-313. I called the dealer and was told they had the parts. Then after 3 days, they called and told me they had to order more parts. It is now September, and I called and they told me they were just now resubmitting the order for parts, and I have to wait. This is ridiculous, especially since my vehicle has been in Hawaii it's whole existence! I need help! thank you!

Re: safety recall. I have made 4 attempts to resolve recall # P40/NHTSA 14V-354 airbag failure in my Dodge Dakota truck.. no parts available per dealership and probably will not be available per Dodge until the 3rd or 4th quarter of this year, if then. Why"?"
I was notified by Dodge in November that my takata airbags needed to be replaced due to explosion issues. I called dealer promptly and they scheduled an appointment for January 9. as of today, they still have not honored this appointment because Dodge is not even shipping replacement airbags yet. Meanwhile, there has been yet another report of a fatality due to these airbags. So, I am driving around with a potential "bomb" in my truck and the company is doing nothing to fix it.
