DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE RECALL AIR BAG PARTS. THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THEM TO DO THE REPAIR.

DASHBOARD WARNING OF: "SERVICE AIRBAG" CAME ON SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. GOT A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDFINGS; REF, TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. CHECKED LOCAL DEALER FOR RECALL INFO. AND FOUND NO HELP. WAS TOLD A "FIX" WAS NOT AVAILABLE. SO, WHY THE NOTIFICATION IF I CANT GET MY TRUCK REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL? IN THE MEANTIME, I'VE GOT A WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASH, REMINDING ME THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I REFUSE TO PAY TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED AND REPAIRED, WHEN IT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECOGNIZED AS BEING FAULTY. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? DOES MY TRUCK GET REPAIRED OR NOT?
