Default Company Expands Recall to 34 Million Vehicles Due to Faulty Airbags

The Airbag recall is now alot larger on the Takata Airbags.

I check and my 2005 is now under the recall. Looks like it covers all now, Im in Canada, but also near the ocean. But not alot of humidity.

I did check before and my 05 wasnt on the list then.

My truck has been under this for a while for the inflator, but apparently the parts are not available. ..Still.

Make sure you wear a full face helmet until it's fixed.

Got mine done last month. It took a week for the parts to arrive. Dropped it off first thing in the am, picked up at lunch time. Pretty painless, unlike getting shot up by an airbag.

When I check the vin, it says "Repair not dont" then also "Parts not available"

Meant to call the dealer today, but didnt get time.
