Description of the problem	Takata recall - i received the recall notice, dated march, 2017, instructing me to contact my dealer (mason city ford lincoln) for a free replacement airbag. Unfortunately, i broke my back on christmas eve, 2016 and had extensive surgery in august, 2017, so i did not make the call to the dealership where i had purchased the vehicle until january 3, 2018. At that time, the service repair person informed me that the replacement part necessary to remedy the situation had not yet been made available to him by the company. I asked specifically, "so you are telling me that there is no way you are able to obtain the part at this time to make the repair needed to make this vehicle safe?" the service person replied that was correct, that there was nothing he could do. I again restated, "so i am just supposed to continue driving around with airbags full of shrapnel?" he replied that he was sorry. Obviously, this response and complete lack of remedial options is dangerous and unacceptable. It is preposterous that lives continue to be at stake due to a lack of parts, that this fact is well documented (see www. Safercar. Gov) and nothing is being done to force the company's hand, while in the meantime they are conveniently able to make use of the nation's bankruptcy courts to further mitigate their losses. In what way is the consumer being protected here? What is the point of a recall if the consumer is unable to rid himself of the defective product? Obviously, there is a very serious flaw in this system, as the protection i am receiving is virtually nil. As i have never been involved in a recall prior to this, i have been operating under the possibly mistaken belief that this was a valid and effective system. I am hoping to see the proof.

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.
