It is amazing to me that a recall is issued in March 2021 and nothing has been done yet and they still are building vehicles probably with defective equipment if there isn't a fix for this recall. Gm recall # n212328800.

Takata recall. Takata inflators-passanger side gm recall 49151. Received my notice in August 2016. Gm informed me they were studing it and would have an answer in 6 months. Same story in January 2017, July 2017, sept. 2017, November 2017, oct. 2018, oct. 2018, Feb 2019, and finally July 2019. Stated gm sent report to NHTSA and are still waiting for a reply. This is unbelievable ! who is responsible for for the safety in case of an accident and someone is hurt. It does not take 4 years to resolve the safety of this passenger inflator. Other companies have replaced this air bag. Why is gm dragging their feet.
I was notified of the recall but gm has failed to make the parts and labor available. Now I have been notified that tk holdings are in chapter 11 and I doubt if anything will remedy this defect.
Been getting notification post cards about this airbag recall and called my dealer in June 2023 about getting the work done, and have not heard back from them to schedule anything. 11 months later I talked to them, and they say the part is hard to get, and they are waiting on the parts. Now I am 14 months past the time I called to schedule repairs and still no parts. I don't think this is being handled in a timely manner. Still driving around with a recalled airbag.

Airbag and steering wheel problems. Neither driver's nor passenger's airbag deployed in a major crash. Our truck was hit by a fully loaded dump truck, speed unknown. Our driver had "mustang sign," bruising to chest. Passenger had seatbelt bruising. No warning lights or other indication was present to indicate that there was any problem with the airbags. We are the original owners and there was no previous use of, nor work done on the airbags. Steering wheel collapsed onto driver's legs, which we were told is common for adjustable steering wheels. Vehicle was totaled and is at junk yard. We have requested the collision report and can provide upon request.
