| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I called mercedes benz of usa on april 24, 2018 to request information as to when the vehicle identified above would be scheduled to have its affected airbags replaced. Their response indicates that i am in for a very long wait. Their priority of replacement focuses on vehicles in humid environments. The vehicle described above was originally purchased in and spent a significant period of time in boston. Ma. I am concerned about possibly being mortally wounded by the current airbag in an otherwise non-fatal accident. |
