I received a notice for the recall for the airbags back in July of 2017, I have asked my dealer today, and as of today, they do not have the parts to repair the defective airbags almost a year and a half later.

"Takata recall" There is no reason why this has not been remedied yet! By General Motors or Takata (Which is now going bankrupt!) I feel unsafe driving around a vehicle with defective safety equipment! There is no solution and I've contacted dealers!
