| Description of the problem | "takata airbag" i purchased a 2013 mercedez sprinter 3500 van that had been converted through winnebago industries in forest city ia. When i exported/imported the vehicle into canada, i was unable to register the motorhome, due to the takata air bag recall. The registry of motor vehicle in nova scotia, canada has granted me a temporary permit for 2017 only, i have been unable to receive any sort of time line as to the approximate date that this recall will be repaired. I was told in october of 2016 by mercedes benz usa that they expected the repair would be completed by july/august of 2016. When contacted today they said they have no timeline that they could share indicating when this tacata airbag recall would be completed. Mbusa has known about this recall for approximately 3 years, it appears that they have not communicted to their customers or to the nhtsa which seems unacceptable. |
