Description of the problem	Takata recall i was notified of the recall several years ago and attempted to have the inflators replaced or repaired at that time. Since mercury had gone out of production, i was referred to a ford dealer, but when i contacted the nearest one (in woodbridge virginia, i was told that parts for repair of my vehicle were not yet available and i would have to wait but that , in the meantime, i should not drive my vehicle which was totally impractical since the date of arrival was unknown. I was never notified that the parts ever came. When the ford company finally notified me that parts were available about a year ago, i contacted another dealer--also in woodbridge--- but was told that i would have to wait as preference was being given to people who had decided to rent cars (for which they had to pay after 30 days). I agreed to this but, again, was never notified that my turn had come. I can only deduce that the ford motor company and/or its dealerships were not honestly attempting to make the required repairs a nd they have, therefore, never been made. Fortunately, since the mercury is my primary vehicle, i have never stopped driving it and there has been no problem. In today's washington post, i now see that the recall program is reportedly being managed by nhtsa, so i am bringing this situation to your attention. According to the article, the ammonium nitrate which powers the airbags can deteriorate over time. If this is so, i would think priority for repair would be given to older cars first, and since mine is now 11 years old i should have been notified to bring it in to a dealer who would promptly make the repair. I would think your agency would be aware of this problem, but if not, i would appreciate it greatly, if you would now investigate and correct the situation. Thank you

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
