I have an air bag warning light on my dash, took it to my mechanic and was told it is a seat belt tensioner he has tried for two weeks to obtain this part and was told there is a nation wide back order on this item. It will take two or more weeks to be shipped. Sounds like it affects a lot of durangos and was wondering if this should have been a recall?
