I don't understand fully the way it is supposed to work, should all affected vehicles be stopped immediately?
And then they should not be driven to service?
Even if Dodge/Chrysler have enough spare air bags, if it takes 1 hour time to replace it, that is around 300,000 hours work, and then if the car cannot be driven to service it would take probably many more hours of towing/collecting/delivering.
Wouldn't it take months?
- ehzy 4y ago300k airbags is pocket change, so to speak. The Takata recall covered tens of millions of vehicles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takata_Corporation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takata_Corporation
- jaclaz 4y agoI understand that, but I wasn't talking about the value of the airbags, I was asking about the procedure to replace them, if (invented numbers) there are 1500 people working on this replacement, it takes 200 hours to replace 300,000 airbags, which is a bit more than one full month time, which means that on average some 300,000 cars would be stopped for 15 days. Most other recalls I have read about tend to be of the kind "there is no hurry, you can continue using the car normally, you will be contacted by the dealer and at first occasion we will replace component X", this one, according to the article is "stop the vehicle now".
