Received safety recall notice for passenger side air bag. Safety recall warned not to use the passsenger side seat. Called dealer. Dealer advised that the first available time that they could fix the recall was June 1st, 2016. This renders this vehicle unless for almost a year. In the mean time what are supposed to drive?
