I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY DODGE RAM FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING. STATED THAT I NEED TO CONTACT MY DODGE DEALER ON FEBRUARY 23. I HAVE CALLED 3 TIMES SINCE THIS DATE AND AM TOLD THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS. IT HAS BEEN 6 WEEKS NOW. WHY HAS A RECALL BEEN ISSUED IF NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE? I HAVE DONE WHAT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL UNRESOLVED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER ALSO THAT MY NAME WAS PUT ON A LIST AND WHEN THEY GET MORE OF THESE ISSUES THEY WILL CALL ALL IN AT ONE TIME. NOT WHAT I WANT TO HEAR WITH A SAFETY ISSUE AT HAND. LETS HOPE NO INJURIES OCCUR BEFORE THIS IS REPAIRED. *TR
