Description of the problem	"takata recall". Reference # 11140309. Current info on report incorrect. Please update with below. Recall number 16v363 and 16v081. I purchased my pre-owned glk350 on dec 24 2016. The dealer alm of duluth did not inform me of an open recall. I received a recall notification from mb dec 2017 stating parts would be available march 30, 2018. On march 2018, another notice stated it's delayed until june 30, 2018. As of today, still no notifications as to when the airbags will be replaced. This vehicle is a daily driver. Oct 2018, i went to mb of athens and asked about the takata recall. The service mgr said they were replacing airbags on 2009 c-class. Mb headquarters said this is incorrect and that mb vehicles do not require the replacement because no mb vehicles have been involved in a takata related incident. A wsbtv investigation reported from takata that high humidity increases the likelihood of premature ruptures. This glk350 was originally purchased in miami and resold in atlanta. My glk is a daily driver and this is unacceptable from mb!! Mb is playing russian roulette with our lives. The only notice i want from nhtsa is a date when my airbags (driver & passenger) will be replaced. If nhtsa cannot 'fine' mb for their direct denial, then i'm filing a class action lawsuit !

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
