| Description of the problem | Takata airbag defect. I received notice of recall from mb in november, 2017, almost 8 months ago. Despite numerous followups with both mb and the dealer, neither mb or the mb dealer can tell me when the parts will be available to correct this serious safety problem. Please help before my wife or i or other persons are injured or worse. The mb notice states that the airbag may deploy due to insufficient electrical grounding, an electrostatic discharge and a broken steering module clock spring, causing injury and risk of a crash. |
