Takata recall my wife filed a complaint for this vehicle which is shared and registered to both of us but realized after filing she typed 2017 instead of 2007. Received a notice for defective air bags. Takata was to replace.

Takata recall. We received a recall notice from GMC in July 2016. They still do not have parts to repair this recall. How can they make an entire year's worth of new cars and still not be able to make currently owned cars safe.
