Cracked dashboard around airbag

Have not heard anything in over a year since I was notified about the recall on the airbags. Is this another scam or what ?

The dashboard has numerous cracks that will send shrapnel flying when the airbags deploy. The pieces of the dash could be deadly in an accident with propelled by the force of the airbag.
- Stafford, VA, USA
Takara recall. To whom it may concern, I received a notice from GM two years ago identifying my vehicle as affected by the airbag recall and was also informed I would be notified when my local dealership would be able to make repairs. I have called my local dealership since receiving the notice and I am always told that there are no parts and I will be notified when repair is available. My complaint is that I have no idea when, if ever, GM plans to repair my vehicles airbags. I feel that GM is taking it's time in hope that affected vehicles age out and are no longer on the road. What are my options of having my vehicle repaired by GM?
