"takata recall" I have been trying to get an appointment to have this air bag replaced. This is safety recall notice19S01 / NHTSA recall 19V-010. It is on a 2009 Ford Ranger pickup. It has been 3 months sense I went in to schedule an appointment, been back in 2 more times T see what the hold up is & I get the run around. I just called Ford motors and they suggested that I go to a dealer 30 miles away. My local dealer where I bought the truck new is less than 1 mile away. That is fox motors of Cadillac, Michigan, their phone number is 231-775-3448. My phone number is [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have received three airbag safety recall notices 18S01 with hone number 866-436-7332 & 866-436-7332 but when I call they do not recognize the recall number so am not able to schedule an appointment. My second problem is I live in Alaska on an island the nearest Ford dealer is 300 miles by ferry it takes about 14 hours one way to get to a dealer for repairs. Even if I get approval it would cost at least $1000. For ferry ticket for the car and driver, hotel, food to get to juneau. I would appricate a reply on the raecall issue from you.
