I received a letter from louisiana omv about airbag recalls in august 2018. brought the vehicle to the dealership to have this fixed. i was informed that the parts are not in stock and that there are three other recalls on this vehicle as well. over the past month they have continued to state that the parts were not in. now that a man took the vehicle all of sudden they received the parts in three days. however, now they are stating that they are only replacing the passenger airbag and not all airbags as reported on the recall from la omv. what should i do? my daughter drives this vehicle and travels for school i am very concerned about what exactly they should be replacing. if all airbags needed to be replaced due to shrapnel two months ago how is it now only one needs to be replaced?
