What really blows is that they're urging you not to drive your vehicle, but they're still out of replacement airbags so they can't fix your vehicle.
Yeah, I’m not seeing a mass mailing of 276,000 vouchers to Enterprise rent-a-car coming.
“but they’re still out of replacement airbags so they can’t fix your vehicle.”

“We have the parts, and the service is free,” said Tom McCarthy, global head of Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance at Stellantis, in a statement shared with Nexstar. “We will provide alternative transportation, also free, to help people get to and from our dealerships, as needed.”
Take the airbag out.
Two years ago the horn stopped working on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma except when you turned the wheel all the way to the right.
This module underneath the airbag needed to be replaced. It controlled all the buttons on the steering wheel including the horn, radio volume, station, blue tooth phone controls.
You had to take the airbag out to replace this module underneath it. There are literally two screws and a wiring plug to disconnect the air bag.
I sat in the passenger seat as my buddy Walt took it apart and put the new module in. Total time about 20 minutes. I could have easily done it myself.
