| Description of the problem | Nothing has happened as yet (my vehicle has not been involved in an accident). But i am concerned with ford company's slow processing of this recall of takata frontal airbags. I received my first recall notice in july of 2016 and have contacted ford dealers in 3 states over the past year. "parts not yet available" is the consistent response. Now that tk holdings and its parent company takata have filed for bankruptcy in several countries, i am concerned that the replacement will not take place at all, and that my family may undergo serious injury should the bags malfunction in the event of an impact. I would ask that any pressure possible be placed on the companies involved to ensure that the recall and replacement of this critical safety feature is honored as soon as possible. |
