3 Side/window Air Bag problem of the 2010 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 04/01/2016

I had a takata driver side airbag recalled and replaced. Several months ago, perhaps a year, I received via mail a recall notice for the passenger airbag; however, there were no available parts to fix it. I haven't received any further information. I'm wondering what the status is? how do I get this repaired etc. Should I have the airbag disabled? will anyone even perform that service?.

The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Challenger. The contact stated that the air bag sensor flashed and remained illuminated. The dealer stated that there was an internal failure with the passenger side air bag seat sensor. The dealer replaced the core and air bag and cleared the failure code.

The driver sustained bruises to the left shoulder and pelvic pains that required medical attention. The vehicle was not repaired.
