Received a letter from the Lincoln motor company dated July 2016 in regard to the passenger frontal airbag inflator "may rupture result[ing]...serious injury or death." As of this date of complaint (10/28/17, I have yet to receive notice that the airbag will be replaced, my calls to the the Lincoln motor company have resulted in their statement that the replacement airbag is not available "at this time." In the meanwhile I cannot have a passenger sit in the front seat of the automobile. Further, they cannot tell me when the replacement air bag will become available.

There has been a recall on the passenger airbag since June 2016. This recall states that the passenger airbag could rupture if ever involved in a crash and give no protection to my passenger. As of today there is still no remedy to this problem. This is is a takata product. The delay in correcting this dangerous issue is reckless and irresponsible and puts people I love in danger every day. There needs to be a correction and it needs to be replaced in my vehicle before there is a tragedy!!
