Default Re: Air Bag Recall

Received the formal recall notice from FCA (Fiat Chrysler America) regarding the driver airbag module in my 2007 Crossfire. Recall notice indicates 2007 & 2008 Crossfires are included. Apparently, Daimler-Chrysler switched to Takata as a supplier for the last 2 model years. Probably to save costs - don't think that has worked out well for Fiat-Chrysler.

Anyway, recall notice says parts are not available yet. As soon as parts are available, a follow-up notice will be sent to me to schedule an appointment to have the driver airbag module replaced by a local dealer.

So in the mean time, we drive around in a car that potentially can kill occupants if & when the driver-side air bag deploys. The recall notice actually states this failure mode effect! Lucky they're looking after my safety! Yeah, Right!
