    Takata recall - i have received 2 different notices regarding this recall and have called the nearest dealership on 8-19-2015, and 8-14-15 and told parts were not available. Received a new notice and called 2-19-16 and told the same thing....do i have to become a statistic before something is done?? I know my jeep is an older model but it looks brand new, kept in excellent condition and has only 88145 miles on it.
