| Description of the problem | Takata recall. I have contacted the mercedes dealer in warwick, ri several times since the recalls were issued but the answer is always "we're waiting for parts." these airbags are critical safety items. If takata cannot keep up with demand then mercedes itself should manufacture and install the airbags. Waiting for people to be killed by them is criminal. |
