    Very upsetting that gm had to have known takata air bags are installed and we were never informed. I would have never known my vehicle wasn't safe, if i wasn't on this site researching safe car for my teen to drive. I would like to know exactly when our life's are important enough to have recall letters sent? Should we all go out and purchase face shield helmets for the family while we wait?????? I also read…

    Takata recall: i received a gm recall notice (#49151) in july 2016 for a defective takata passenger airbag which could accidentally inflate. Although gm states in the notice that the vehicle is safe to drive, it also states--in the same letter--that such an accidental inflation could result in "serious or fatal injuries". (they call this safe!!?) two visits to my local chevrolet dealership have resulted in no…

    We bought the truck new. We received an airbag recall notice many years back. Still there is no fix available. I believe the recall is because people have died with these faulty airbags. What should we do ?

    Takata recall nhtsa recall number-16v381 i'm merely concerned that's its been 3 years since i received the takata recall letter, and that gm's response has been, "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." from what i've gathered from the recall, vehicles in hot, humid climates are more at risk. This also concerns me, becuase i purchased the truck in 2011 while living in hawaii. I lived there for two years, moved…

I recently had my truck at the dealer for repairs and they didn't know why it hadn't been fixed either. Please let me know how to have my recalled airbags replaced.
