Well my 07's VIN returned a result on that search but it says "RECALL STATUS: Recall INCOMPLETE. Remedy not yet available." I supposed I will call the dealer at some point. Has anyone done this yet? Did the dealer have the parts or tell you the same thing this search is saying? There's no fee for the recall, right?

Recall's are no charge, you "could" push for a rental to use, but it could also take months or more to get the parts so they might not do that.
I think that's why the thing I seen said they would do the mail-outs when parts where available.

Well, at least I finally got a notice in the mail about this today. Of course it says that the parts are currently not available. There will be a follow up notice when the parts are available, and then to contact the dealer right away for the repair.

Chrysler isn't making the airbags. They're just the middle man.


They're coming from TRW this time BTW, FYI.

Default Really?

You actually think that FCA didn't know this was coming.


You really think that Takata the manufacture of the airbags didn't know who bought all their airbags and which airbags were defective.


AND that FCA had no clue what model of airbag or which airbags that were manufactured by Takata that were on their vehicles were also faulty too.


I'm pretty sure when this story broke months ago about these defective airbags. Both Takata and FCA knew they had a problem.




NHTSA investigators say Fiat Chrysler's recall responses have been too slow and inefficient.


The chief U.S. government official in charge of auto safety said Thursday that he will punish Fiat Chrysler Automobiles after regulators
accused the automaker of flubbing recall fixes and repeatedly failing to notify the U.S. government and vehicle owners about defects.




Just saying.................................

You forget how many parts manufacturers the US Govt and the courts put out of business.


They bailed out the big cheeses and unions, but didn't bail out the parts pipeline. Sometimes we get exactly what we vote for.


Mail duplicates of your complaints to Penn Avenue.

Default No complaints here.............

Complaining to either our own Government or FCA is a complete waste of time and energy. Both already have all of our money and all of our complaints would just fall on deaf ears.


Now if money was still owed to either one, we all would have their full undivided attention.


Money talks, people listen........

I'm not saying that FCAs parts pipeline isn't an EPIC joke, because it is, but Takata and their lawyers take a huge part of the blame for holding this one up.


In addition, the Feds play the blame game as effective or more effective than any corporate entity on the planet. Take what those a-holes say with a grain of salt.
