Received a safety recall in the fall of 2014. The dealer did not have the part to repair. After several months and a few more calls still no parts. I then received an additional safety recall on the same defect and called the dealer again and was told they still did not have the parts to make the repair. It has been a year now since the first notice and my question is this. Is it a safety recall or not?
