| Description of the problem | On 02/15/2019, i received a letter from mercedes-benz usa, llc, regarding mbusa recall # 2019010001. The letter advised that "the passenger side airbag in your vehicle is affected by this recall based on the defect decision of tk holdings, inc. ('takata')". In the two-year period since my receipt of the original letter, i have received no follow-up communications from the manufacturer regarding this issue. I have proactively contacted both mercedes-benz usa and my local dealership multiple times, in an attempt to obtain some indication as to when the recall will be addressed, only to be informed that the status is still "pending". |
