My car is subject to Chrysler recall R06, (NHTSA recall 15V-046), issued Jan 27 2015 because the airbags could inadvertently deploy while driving. However it's now 9 months later and nothing has been fixed because the "parts are not available." Chrysler will not even supply a firm date that parts will become available. Why not?

Two concerns addressed: Fuel tank recall: While this Agency has come to an agreement with fca to 'remedy' the fuel tank exploding, I believe your Agency did not take into consideration the contributing factor to this type of incident. The manufacturer had installed a protective metal enclosure surrounding the fuel tank models from 1993 to 2006. The problem is that the type of metal used is prone to rusting out that a vast majority of these vehicles have experienced which during a rear end collision exposes the plastic tank to crack and explode. Air bag recall: Again owners of the affected vehicles will have to wait many months for replacement parts to be produced. The original recall waiting for parts, owners had to wait 12 months for dealership to obtain parts.
