"takata recall' - we received the Ford Motor Co. Recall notice in July 2016 and we have written three letters requesting a date to have the airbag replaced. Ford keeps telling us that the parts are not available in order to set a replacement date. It's now over a year and still no notice to take the car in for the replacement.

Takata recall there has been a recall out since June 1, 2016 and it is still listed as recall status: Recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available. They are to notify me by mail to let me know when I am able to get this recall fixed. I believe that it has been long enough that this is a concerning enough problem that it should be available by now to be fixed.

Takata recall. Received a notice over a year ago, July 2016. Still have not received a notice allowing us to get the repair. My 17 year old son is driving this car and I want the recall repair done asap. Why do we have to put our lives as risk for so long after being notified that there is a safety recall. It's almost Sept 2017 and still no word on being able to get it repaired.
