Description of the problem	Takata recall. There was a nhtsa campaign to recall my vehicle's airbags-- number 16v081000. I was contacted by mail numerous times my mercedes national headquarters, indicating there was a recall and the replacement airbag was on order. They indicated i would be contacted later when the parts became available at my local mercedes dealer. I was contacted locally and they said the part was on order, i would be notified when it arrived. No notification occurred. Recently i called the dealer's parts department and they indicated they had my vehicle's airbag in stock. I contacted the service department and they indicated "the campaign has been closed" (as of march 2018). I called the national customer service number and they confirmed the campaign was closed. Their reason was that they had done an "experiment" on mercedes slks and determined that a recall was not needed. That is, they changed their minds about the takata airbag in the car. I am checking with you to verify that mercedes was permitted by you to close their takata airbag recall for the mercedes 2007 slk 280 model and that it is safe to drive the vehicle. I also note that national mercedes never contacted me regarding the closing of the recall campaign. Thank you for your response.
