Re: Air Bag Recall
So I got this recall notice yesterday as well. Didn't think it was that big of a deal until I googled images for Takata airbag shrapnel... I will be disconnecting my driver air bag until this part comes in, I will take my chances without an airbag like the majority of my older cars were. With my luck, I would be the one to die/maimed from shrapnel to the face in a 15-20mph impact.
I did ask the dealer if they would disconnect this for me (so it was all official), they intermediately said no, it is a safety system. Not recommending anyone do this, you have to weigh your own situation. But as the Crossfire is my daily commuter, I personally will feel safer without the driver side until it is repaired properly.
On another note, is there any clarity on if both driver and passenger air bags are affected? There is not much information, just a "your car has been identified". Curious if they will have to bust into my dash too.
Thanks,
Ryan
