REGARDING THE TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 49151 FROM GM ON 7/2016 FOR MY CHEVY TRUCK. IT SAID "YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE..." THAT WAS WELL OVER A YEAR AGO! I SPOKE WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY ON 10/14/2017 ABOUT THIS AND ALL THE YOUNG MAN SAID WAS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. EVIDENTLY GM AND TAKATA ARE IN SOME KIND OF DISAGREEMENT OVER THE AIRBAG ISSUE WHILE MY FAMILY DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT CRACKED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME. PLEASE HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED TWO LOCAL DEALERS (HENNA CHEVROLET, 8805 N INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 35, AUSTIN, TX 78753 AND CHUCK NASH CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 3209 N INTERSTATE 35, SAN MARCOS, TX 78666) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE SITE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT IT IS VERY COMMON. I AM AFRAID THIS AREA OF THE DASH WILL FAIL UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING INJURY. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE CRACK STARTED.
