NHTSA recall number: 716V081 recall date: February 11, 2016 manufacturer recall number: 2016020003 certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles and one fca model are equipped with driver-side front airbags provided by the supplier tk holdings Inc. ("takata"). on January 25, 2016 takata filed a defect information report with NHTSA announcing a potential defect in some of the subject inflators. Based upon takata's information to date, takata is aware of four test ruptures in ballistic tests of non-desiccated psdi-5 inflators.

However, based on the information above and in an abundance of caution, dag will conduct a voluntary recall of the vehicles equipped with subject takata psdi-5 inflators in the United States as identified by takata in the defect information report.

Takata recall is effecting my ability to feel safe, and confident about driving this vehicle plus no dealer really wants this vehicle on trade until the recall is performed. Why aren't parts being released for this vehicle but other car manufactures have seemed to be replacing theirs?? I would love to be informed a little more or there should be some sort of action us consumers can take against the manufacture of these airbags!!!!
