In early July 2015, I contacted my local Dodge dealer (patterson Dodge) via phone to make the recall repairs to my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500. At the time of the phone call, the dealer indicated that my request for recall service would be put on a list to be scheduled at a later date. Since this initial phone call, I have contacted the dealer and manufacturer multiple times with no confirmation on when the recall repairs could be completed. As of September 9, 2015, the dealer confirmed that I was indeed on a list of vehicles needing repair, but no timeline for the service could be established because of unavailability of parts from the manufacturer. Please advise me on how to get these recall repair performed.

On my Ram 2500 I was notified by Chrysler that my truck has recall 15V-313 for the air bags. States there is no fix as of now. But says in extreme heat the airbag can rupture and send metal shrapnel flying injuring the driver. I was wondering if this would make my truck eligible for the Chrysler buyback program? as I do believe this is a serious safety concern.
