Takata recall: GM announced the recall for the takata airbags on our 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe on May 27, 2016. I have called the dealer three times since this recall was announced and they say they have no guidance or parts from GM yet.one and a half years later and they still have no remedy? Honda already has parts for their takata air bag recall available at the dealer. GM should be taken to task for having no remedy after this length of time. They should at the very least remove these dangerous air bags from our cars immediately.
