So I took my car to the service center that I usually use, at the dealership where I bought it. I needed a emissions and state inspection. My car was doing well, not great but ok. Then I'm told that my car's airbags have been recalled and they don't know when it'll come! So they gave me a loaner and said that it's covered by warranty--but I'm not so sure about that, it's been 8 yrs! Is it a scam? Anyone know? The service center days they won't charge and has been iffy in the past, but I don't know, something doesn't smell right. I've talked to my dad who's a mechanic (he's worked for auto repair shops) and he says it's very suspicious!

Sarcasm dear, sarcasm. I’m well aware that dealing with civilians in any capacity will skin your faith in humanity alive, then pickle anything that remains so as to watch it shrivel up into an immortal husk thus reminding you of how dead inside you now are.

It took over a YEAR for my replacement airbag to come in, the original dealership that was to take care of it apparently never did get the part so I had it done at another dealership.
Take this seriously, too many people have been hurt already...

Up until recently, I was getting recall notices on my '07 Corolla. I'd get the work done, only to get another one a month or so later. Even after the car was destroyed back in August, they were still telling me of the dire circumstances of what would happen if those airbags weren't replaced. Still, at least I didn't have to pay for any of the work.Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

I got a recall notice as well, but the letter said that it would be a while until the work could be done as there is, rather understandably, a shortage of airbags."It is traditional when asking for help or advice to listen to the answers you receive" - RealUnimportant
