Campaign I 04v480000, action number ea04013. I currently have a non function airbag and horn in my 2000 grand caravan. I have called two local dealers that have both said I am covered under the above recall, however, the required part has no date for re-stock. Interestingly, I can find the part widely available on the internet. So I am driving a vehicle with a non-functioning air bag, that will not pass inspection. So I see it as chrysler has found a simple way to avoid correcting a mandated recall simply by not having the part available to their dealers. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Dear sir's, I made an appointment and went to the dodge dealership to have a recall defective maintenance performed on the clock spring in my 2000 dodge grand caravan, which has made my driver side airbag inoperable. They advised me that the part is not in stock and that there are over 6,000 on back order. They gave me a phone number to call so that could get a reference and or case number. I was advised that by doing this I would be covered. Is there further need for any other actions on my part?
