May 1999 CrashInjury

Takata recall. I received the first recall in mar 2016. Dealer keeps saying they have no parts. Now I get the second recall for the pass side airbag. Same thing...no parts. It has been over 60 days since receiving NHTSA recall 16v-061. This is too long on this serious defect which can be life threatening. Help.
