I have asked the park place motorcars Mercedes-Benz dallas location, on two occasions, about the recall notices I received. I was told that I did not need to worry about the recall unless I actually experienced an issue with the bags. The issue is that I won't know if I have an issue with the bags until I have an accident, and I am either injured or killed by these airbags.
