| Description of the problem | Takata recall. My wife and i purchased our mercedes benz 18 july 2017 and were required to sign a document stated that we understood that the takata air bag was under recall but had not been repaired at the time of the purchase. The dealer ship and mercedes benz web site estimated the repair would take place in march 2018. During march 2018 i checked with my local dealer and the mercedes benz web site and was informed that the repairs would take place in june 2018. Again, at the end of june 2018 i contacted the dealer and they had no information on the recall repair date. I contacted mercedes benz and was informed that the repair date is now december 2018. I have informed mercedes benz, in writing, that the air bag recall is a safety issue and needs to be repaired. I have not received and additional information. The manufacturer #: 2018030011 the nhtsa recall #: 16v081 thank you in advance for your assistance. Sincerely: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
