Your recall 15757 is ineffective and soon to be a law suit if someone does not tell the dealer that they have to fix the problem not hide behind the fact that they still don't have the parts. I called newburgh and poughkeepsie and they don't have parts. I drive children in this vehicle and if anything law suit will be initiated
