Understand from the Jeep web app, Fiat Chrysler has parts available for the passenger air bag recall S43. But, I cannot get a dealer scheduled appointment for the recall since Fiat Chrysler is limiting dealers from ordering the available parts. I must wait until the dealer uses their inventory but a new shipment can be received. At this time all are marked for vehicles. Seems Fiat Chrysler doe not think safety is a concern and may be even fighting the NHTSA ordered recall. It's hard to determine. Gotten answers from parts are still being manufactored to in the warehouse what a shame the public's safety is held in such a low reguard.

Takata recall. 6 months after being informed of the recall my airbag still hasn't been replaced. But my local Jeep dealer would be perfectly happy to sell me a brand new Jeep with a brand new airbag. Why are companies allowed to continue producing new vehicles before fixing a safety recall for existing customers? I want my vehicle fixed and safe!

We have received recalls for S-43, and S-33 refrencing the air bag system. We received them in April and still have not been called in to have the repairs made. Several attempts to reach Chrysler via E-mail have only resulted in getting many adds to buy cars. I want this safety problem resolved immediatly.
