Takata recall issue I have a 2014 Volkswagen Passat with a malfunctioning clock spring. The dealerships are informing me that my car was not part of the recall. However, this is not a part that should break, especially not after 30 months. Volkswagen has failed to resolve their clock spring issue. They are putting my families safety at risk, and have no concerns with resolving the issue. This needs to be escalated as others safety could be at risk.

Takata recall I received a safety recall yesterday in my mail for my VW Passat's takata airbags. After reading the letter it seemed pretty important that I get the change made so I immediately called my VW dealership to ask them to replace the airbag. Upon informing VW of the letter and them reviewing my VIN number, they told me that they don't currently have replacements in stock and they werent sure when they would be in. I asked them to call me when they come in and they said they cant do that and for me to just call back in a week to see if they've come in. Shocked, I asked the person am I just supposed to ride around praying and gambling that I don't get hit or hit something so that my airbag doesnt go off and harm me? to which the person told me, the airbags work fine its only a recall because they want to make sure there are no issues. Im sorry but that is not safe and or accurate. So in the meantime, im riding around with an airbag that has a recall and has the potential to go off and metal fragments could come through the bag which may result in serious injury or death to me and any occupants (usually my two kids). Is it me or is something really wrong with this? I need to know how urgent this is to get replaced and get this done immediately.
