I ow n a 2013 Silverado that I purchased new. I received a recall notice February 2021 which I believe is the second one. I have not been contacted and when I call Chevrolet customer assistance center, my calls are dropped after putting on hold. How long is this to take ? I don't feel safe when I have a passenger with me.

Airbag was repaired under Takata recall on 6/15/21, 24,122 miles on vehicle. Service airbag warning comes on the next day. Back to dealer and they said warning light is not related to what they did and just a coincidence. Hard to believe. Are there any other complaints of this happening ? Thanks

I was notified of the air bag recall in February 2021. To date, I have not heard anything from anyone about replacement of the passenger-side airbag. When I check the recall on line I see that the "remedy is not available". How long do I need to wait to get this resolved?

The manufacturer has known about the problem with the passenger air bag for years and waited until February 2021to issue a recall. When the manufacturer was asked on 7-22-2021 when this problem would be fixed they responded that they do not have a remedy for the problem. It seems to me that they are dragging tier feet in the hope that the problem will fix itself through attrition of the affected vehicles. unless the government pressures the manufacturer by the use of fines or sanctions, they don't have any real reason to fix this problem in a timely manner.
