TAKATA RECALL (S43 - 16V-352, JULY 1, 2016) - "THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE WHILE DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH RUPTURES MAY OCCUR IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT AIRBAG INFLATORS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT CONDITIONS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND/OR HEAT AGING. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENT(S) COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I OWN A 2010 DODGE CHALLENGER AND AM STILL WAITING TO HAVE THIS RECALL FIXED. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE JULY 14, 2015 (R37 / 15V-444) -"THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING IN YOUR VEHICLE MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. THE INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE THAT I USE TO TRANSPORT MY TEENAGER AND TODDLER. I AM AT RISK EVERY DAY WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. KNOWING THAT THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM EXISTS AND CANNOT BE FIXED IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING. HOW MANY MORE INJURIES AND DEATHS IS IT GOING TO TAKE BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN??? *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR IS FINE BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING 7 MONTHS FOR RECALL PARTS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG INFLATOR. R37/NHTSA 15V-444. FIAT CHRYLSER AMERICA'S RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER (18008531403) IS JUST AN ANSWERING SERVICE WITH NO ACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF PARTS AND ABOUT LIMITS TO HOW MANY PARTS A DEALER CAN ORDER. BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE MARK FROM THE RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER SAYS PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO BE ORDERED. MY LOCAL DEALER, NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER, SAYS THAT FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND THE 10 PARTS THEY HAVE ON HAND ARE ALREADY SCHEDULED TO BE USED FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES. THERE'S NO WAY TO FIND OUT WHY FIAT CHRYSLER ONLY ALLOWS THEM TO ORDER 10 AT A TIME, AND NYLE MAXWELL SUPERCENTER CLAIMS THERE'S NO WAY TO SPECIAL ORDER THE PART THAT I NEED, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE.
