Travlingman,

Why did you have to try to educate the diehards of deception that linger on this forum? The way they spout off without knowing or having a hint of the facts constantly exposes them so clearly! It's a JEEP problem alone!!!

No it isn't.

My Chevy recall says:

"Takata Corporation ("Takata") has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists....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."

The Jeep recall I got from FCA does not mention Takata specifically, but sounds very familiar:

"The front passenger airbag inflator may rupture, due to excessive internal pressure, during normal airbag deployment events. This condition is more likely to occur if your vehicle has been exposed to high levels of absolute humidity for extended periods of time. An inflator rupture may result in...serious injury or death."

Travlingman posted a link. It is pretty clear this is not an airbag issue if you read it. This is a wiring problem.
