I have NOT received 2-recall notices for my airbag, said to have been sent on March 1, 2021 and May 11, 2021 for my 4-Door 2009 Silverado LS with Shot Bed. Your website said if the manufacture has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner to contact you and file an online complaint with NHTSA... Thus this is why I am writing. I cannot tell you when this incident occurred - you know as you are the experts.
