Driver air bag inflator safety recall 8215F. I'm having an issue getting it replaced. I scheduled an appointment at Mazda dealer beach Mazda myrtle beach by phone, came there to get the car fixed, but it turned out they didn't have the part available, then the manager told me that he would order it for me and call me back to reschedule the appointment. It's been more than 6 months ago, I'm still waiting.

Apparently they are waiting on takata... meanwhile my car has been a danger for almost 10 years... when are they going to get this done?

We were notified in July 2015 of air bag recall, told parts weren't yet available and that we would be notified when they were. As of January 2016, 7 months later, we never got a notice from them. We called and they had the parts ordered for us in about a week. Just got the call that our parts are in, but the dealership will only do the work on a weekday, not on weekend. My wife and I both work Monday through Friday, and both of us have fairly new jobs so taking time out during our work day for this is disruptive to our jobs, yet the dealership refuses to perform the work on a Saturday when we are both readily available. Since this recall is the fault of the manufacturer, shouldn't they be accommodating to our schedules to get this work completed?
