Takata recall: I recently received a notice of takata filing for bankruptcy, and there is still an active recall out on my front driver airbag. Dealership has nothing in stock to do the recall, and no information on when they'll have parts available. Recall was issued january 2016, nearly two years ago. What action can I take? Air bags
