Takata recall I was notified of the recall in July 2016 and went to dealership to have air bag replaced but was informed they did not have the part and I must wait for notification that part is available. I received second notice in December 2017 telling me part will be available in spring of 2018 and not to allow anyone to sit in passenger seat. This is totally unacceptable. My wife cannot sit in passenger seat when we go somewhere and this has been over 19 months. I am hiring an attorney to file suit for inability to use my vehicle as purchased. I am the original owner. Furthermore, Y passengers have been at risk for the entire time.

Takata recall: I talked to a person at ntsha today and he said I could request an on/off switch that a mechanic can install in my car to turn off the airbag, until Lincoln gets the repair parts. I didn't see on safercar.gov where I could request the form for the switch. Please send me the proper documents or parts so I can get this installed.

Takata recall. Got recall notice in the mail for a faulty airbag. Went to dealership where vehicle was purchased, and listed as a dealership capable of fixing the issue on the takata recall website, and they informed me they didn't nor were they going to have the replacement parts in stock any time soon. I want this issue fixed, free of charge, before an accident occurs.
