Airbag recall was announced in August - https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/f...august-8-2022-vehicles-affected-64-974.18940/

They just haven’t had enough parts to complete it. So the notices have been going out in waves. Some pre-July built Mavericks are still waiting on lots for their airbags before they can be delivered to their customers.

Mine arrived in the mail, but I'm A couple thousand mikes from first oil change so it can wait till then.

It'll likely be 2023 before they even start getting parts.

Back in my day we didn't have any fancy-schmancy airbags and we liked it! We just had a lap belt. Your face was the airbag as it hit the wheel. Darn spoiled kids today.

Kids these days will never even know the joys of riding in the back of a rickety truck going 60mph down the highway in 20 degree weather. You ain’t lived until you were in a coma after a 20mph collision.

Did you actually wear a lap belt? My family did not and a child safety seat had two bars that hung over the front seat without a buckle.

I also received the recall notice in the mail today (9/28/22). Not much I can do about it until the parts come in, and I still have to do the under tray recall fix too.

Got mine a few days ago.

Yeah, first car was a used '72 Pontiac LeMans station wagon. It did have shoulder belts tucked up above the windows, but there was some weird attachment method you had to make to connect it to the the lap belt that I never bothered to figure out. I could be wrong about this, but when I started driving in '83 I'm not even sure there was a seat belt law in PA yet.

I mean... If you don't crash, no problem right??

I'm old enough to remember when seat belts were an option on a new vehicle.

Oh MST3K you are so young. My first car was a 1965 Ford Fairlane that I purchased right after I received my license in July 1976. Had to get to work and high school.

I grew up in the 50’s, no seat belts on any cars. The best defense was a good offense, my family drove a Buick Electra 225 which was like a small aircraft carrier.

With me being retired United States Navy, I know what a small aircraft carrier is like. The LPH I was on only had a 628 foot flight deck.
