| Description of the problem | Takata recall appears to have become a bad joke. It has been 16 months since receiving a letter from mercedes benz acknowledging the danger of our airbags needing replacement and being a part of the takata recall (feb 2018 to june 2019). Mercedes benz has their notification of this recall, on their own mbusa website as jan 10, 2016 (nhtsa recall number 18v043). Mbz has stated the status of this recall as "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." since a very long time, with no apparent changes or updates. It is becoming clear that mbz has no intention of fulfilling this recall, and apparently quite content to leave the passengers and drivers of their vehicles in danger of injury, maiming, and/or death from a repairable problem that is well known for quite some time now. |
