Originally sold in KCMO metro area (probably Priority 3) for 6 months and has since been owned & registered in SC (Priority 2) for nearly 8 years.
Unless they changed the zones (priority), I have a .pdf that I believe indicates SC as priority A (priority A in section 7 on the amended Nov 3 2015 .pdf ). And if I remember correctly, one of the NHTSA .pdf's I downloaded directs Chrysler have parts available for priority A (Priority A, as ammended) by March 2016 (expired). I'll look at the downloaded .pdf's (in case they rewrote/posted them) and get back here. I might have quite a mea-culpa?
Found the .pdf that instructed priority A (I was calling it zone 1 but in various places it is listed as zone A or priority A, sorry for the confusion) The text in this added (below) .pdf ( 20160504-Fact Sheet-Takata-Recall-History-Key-Terms.pdf ) Pg. 2 3rd line says: By March 31, 2016, the Coordinated Remedy Order required that all affected vehicle manufacturers have a sufficient supply of remedy parts to begin remedying vehicles in Priority Group 1. Vehicles in that Group are at greatest risk of experiencing an inflator rupture.
Now I do agree that even 1 replacement airbag (given the definition given) would cover them dorks at FCA, the intent is they (IMHO) should have parts for our priority A cars 2007 and 2008 (South Carolina and California, as amended) by MARCH 2016, and yes I had May stuck in my head, oh well). So, is FCA stonewalling us owners, I believe so!
