Takata recall- my understanding is there is an active recall oem#16v383000 (5-31-16) & oem#16v381000 (5-31-16) the dealer has told me there is nothing they can do, however the recall is now two years old. My service airbag light has been on now for about 4 months, and I would like this problem resolved. I would like some answers from someone. The gm dealer here in winston-salem is not helping at all. The lexus dealer has already replaced the airbag on my daughters car, but no one with gm is making an attempt.
