I received the notice in november of 2020 about this safety issue. Three weeks ago the rear spoiler flew off while driving at posted speeds down the highway, unbeknownst to me until I arrived at my destination. I immediately called the dealer to schedule the repair based on this notice, and am now being told the part is unavailable, with no eta. I am experiencing "loss of use" of my vehicle due to this safety recall, while I am waiting for this part.
