Description of the problem	We received a safety recall (nhtsda #19v004) indicating the passenger-side airbag is affected by this recall based on the defect decision of tk holdings, inc. ("takata"). At the time we were battling cancer and the corona virus, so we did not get it serviced and it remained in the storage. In the meantime we received numerous calls to bring it in for service, but did not have the time to get it out of storage and drive 400 miles to get the recall fixed. Now that we have the time, we called mercedes dealer and main company, but they indicate the recall disappeared even though we have a letter and received many calls prior to get it changed out. The letter indicates "the defect in your passenger-side airbag inflator may cause the inflator housing to rupture. A passenger-side inflator rupture during deployment could result in metal fragments striking the front passenger or other occupants, possibly causing serious injury or death." so we are concerned. How did mercedes make this disappear without correcting the problem?
