(takata recall) I got a recall letter from Ford Motor Company dated July 2016. The recall was for the passenger side air bag on my 2008 Ford Ranger. I took the truck into my dealer, metro Ford, independence, mo., within a few days of receiving the recall letter. The service manager told me the parts would be available the 4th quarter of this year, sometime in Oct. 2016. I called the dealer today, 10/7/16, to see if I could bring my truck in for the airbag repair, & the service manager now tells me the part may not be available until after the first of the year 2017. I am very concerned about the slowness of this repair as I must use my truck regularly to haul materials, & am very concerned about my passenger's safety. Is there a time frame within which the company is supposed to have this recall repair done" is this vehicle safe to use as I have no other means of hauling materials"

I was told by the dealership that it was best if I park my vehicle and not drive it until the part is available. I am unable to do this because of my job. I contacted Ford directly and they blew me off. When will this be fixed? 10 people have already died because of this.
