Reported at 15,000 miles, April 2017 Crash

I have taken my car to a repair shop because of a sound the car made when driving, he said it is the driveline bearing. These are non-repairable so you need to have the entire drive shaft replaced. When calling for the part it is backordered everywhere because it seems to be a consistent problem and they are a lot of people having the same problem. If this is a design problem and they must know because it is backordered everywhere why is there not a recall to fix it.
