Description of the problem	I received two safety recall notices from daimler ag (dag) regarding air bag issues since october 2017, both of which indicate that "remedy not yet available." the most recent one (issued january 2018) is related to the takata recall: "according to takata, in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants" the first recall, issued october 2017 relates to: "daimler ag (dag), the manufacturer of mercedes-benz vehicles, has determined that on certain b-class electric, c-class, e-class and cla, gla, glc, glk-class vehicles (242, 204, 205, 207, 212, 117, 156, 253 platform) an electrostatic discharge, when combined with a broken steering column module clock spring and an insufficient grounding of the steering components, could lead to an inadvertent deployment of the driver airbag. A broken steering column module clock spring activates a driver airbag warning message in the instrument cluster, as well as the red airbag warning lamp. An inadvertent driver airbag deployment may cause a risk of injury to the driver and might increase the risk of a potential crash. Consequence an inadvertent driver airbag deployment may cause a risk of injury to the driver and might increase the risk of a potential crash." it is unacceptable that daimler has not yet provided remedies for these situations.
