Tl* takata recall. The contact owned a 2009 chevrolet silverado 2500. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the contact fell asleep behind the wheel, veered off the road, and crashed into a pole. None of the air bags deployed. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained injuries to the hands, abdominal area, upper thighs, and knees. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was towed by the insurance company and deemed a total loss. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the insurance company or a dealer to determine why the air bags failed to deploy. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). The manufacturer was notified after the crash. The approximate failure mileage was 92,060.
It has been more than 2 years and the repair is still not available. How much longer do we have to wait for the repair?
The dash is cracked in multiple places around the airbags, I am worried if I get in a accident the broken dash will be deadly my truck has below 60,000 miles
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet silverado 2500. The contact received a recall notification for the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable.

The dealer (capital chevrolet in san jose, california) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Not the actual air bag, but the plastic dash around it. Known cracking in the dash will cause it to shatter during air bag deployment causing possible injuries due to pieces becoming projectiles. Gm is well aware of this defect in the manufacture of the dash.

"takata recall" received a safety recall notice by mail dated july 2016 regarding the front passenger air bag inflators can malfunction. Over the last year and a half I have contacted several dealerships in my area for a replacement. I was told that there was an ongoing court battle where takata claims that their is nothing wrong with the original installed inflator. The dealerships told me that they do not have replacement parts and would not install a replacement part until the court case was settled. No injuries have happened yet because the vehicle has not been in an accident. However I fear that someone may be injured or killed if an accident in this vehicle occurs.
Takata recall. Gm recall # 2049151 (the federal safety agency# 16v381) was issued may 27,2016. It is still listed as incomplete, remedy not yet available. The federal safety agency due date to gm was august 2017. It is now 2018. Has gm been grated an extension? What is the status?
Got in my truck today to find cracks in the dash around the passenger airbag. Concerns me that if the airbag were to deploy it would send sharp pieces of dash flying into the face of the passenger. Vehicle was not in motion when I found the cracks.
The dashboard has cracked in the area of the passenger side air bag. If the bag deploys this could cause many problems.
