| Description of the problem | Takata recall. Mercedes benz (mbz) sent letter dated april 2016 notifying me of driver's side airbag inflator recall and another letter dated august 2016 notifying me of front passenger side airbag inflator recall. As yet i have received no information from mbz as to when a replacement part will even become available, let alone ready for installation. Neither of the subject airbags has deployed, but i am concerned that this problem is not being addressed in a timely matter. In the meantime, this vehicle has a potentially very dangerous problem. |
