Received a recall # 49151 letter in July 2016 stating that the passenger side airbag inflators are defective and that I would received a letter when parts were received. I never got a letter so I called Chevrolet customer assistance # 1-800-222-1020 on 8-22-2016 spoke with lisa and was told they have no parts and vehicle was safe to drive. If the vehicle was safe why did I received the recall.

38 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 08/02/2016

Takata recall received letter stating my truck is affected by the takata airbag recall. The letter says my truck is "considered safe to drive" followed by a paragraph that says "the inflator may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries". I got a similar notice from Lexus a few days earlier, and Lexus offered a rental no questions asked until the issue is resolved. The chevy dealer said they are not offering rentals at this time. Gm customer service said my truck is safe to drive so no rental warranted. I asked the rep why did I get a letter then saying that my airbag may kill me and was told she can't answer that. I want a rental of a similar truck until this is fixed. I live in zone 1/a of the recall as well, so if anyone is likely to have a problem, we are in this area.

56 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 06/08/2016

Takata inflators. In June of 2016, the warning light for an airbag system function came on. I had to replace one of the sensors that had malfuntioned near the front bumper that activates the deployment of the airbags - at my own expense. Upon researching this issue, I found a lot of owners of similar silverados experienced this same part problem. Then, I received gm recall 49152 in July, 2016 stating that "the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long-term exposure in hot and humid regions. If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries". Since I live in north carolina and the truck stays parked outside 24/7, I'm concerned about my safety and anyone riding with me. While what has been warned has not occurred yet, I'm concerned that it could at any time - especially considering how the many of the airbag deployment sensors like mine that went bad seem to be faulty.

(gm recall 49152) there has been no notification of an available repair made to the vehicle in the interim, although gm states the vehicle is "safe to drive" they evidently considered it "safe to drive" when manufactured as well.

I understand the magnitude of this recall, but I would appreciate a resolution of this issue as soon as possible.
