Takata recall. I was notified in July 2016 about this recall. I have received a form stating to contact my local dealer, which I have on several occasions since. I have no idea when this airbag will be replaced, even though I received a notice. This makes me uneasy. I just want to know when and why dealerships do not have more information. They just brush you off.

Called bob sight Ford in lee's summit, mo and spoke with glen about the defective airbag and they stated that the airbag company went out of business and that they still haven't received the air bags to fix this issue. They told me I would receive a letter in the mail or phone call if and when those parts become available. Not sure if this is true or not just thought I'd pass it along, they said theres nothing they can do at this point.

"takata recall" I received notification of a recall on the frontal passenger side airbag. I contacted the dealership several times and was informed the part was not available. The first week of November 2017, I visited the dealership (long lewis Ford) in birmingham Alabama, and was told this is strictly an issue with takata bankruptcy and Ford Motor Company has nothing to do with it. Everything I have read states to contact my dealership and the airbag is to be replaced for free. I did as instructed and the dealership is not complying putting me and my family at possible risk for serious injury or death.
