TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ANY COMMUNICATION FROM FORD. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES @ FORD.COM.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL EARLY IN 2016. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED ON 4/22/2016. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY CAME AVAILABLE. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON A REGULAR BASIS, ALWAYS BEING TOLD NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT IS NOW JANUARY OF 2018 AND THE LOCAL NEWS MEDIA IS REPORTING THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE THERE VEHICLES DUE TO THE DANGER OF THE AIR BAG. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATES THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE RECALL. I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND FEEL THIS WHOLE MATTER HAS TAKEN ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME.

I WAS WATCHING THE NEWS ON TV AND THERE WAS A SEGMENT THAT WARNED "NOT TO DRIVE YOUR 2006 FORD RANGER" DUE TO A FAULTY AIR BAGS. I TRIED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. IS THIS A BOGUS RECALL?
