Description of the problem	This is regarding recall number nhtsa 17v627 and manufacturer # 2017100005. Summary of recall: 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. I contacted an authorized mercedes-benz dealer and was told the part to fix the recall issue is not yet available. I find this unacceptable given it could "cause a risk of injury to the driver and might increase the risk of a potential crash". What recourse do i have regarding this and to ensure my vehicle is repaired & safe in a more timely manner? It has now been over 5 months since the recall was issued!
