TAKATA RECALL WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT TAKATA HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY? I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER ONE YEAR SINCE NOTIFICATION (LETTER).

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN 3/2017 FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. STILL CAN'T GET REPAIRED. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED REPLACEMENT PARTS. WAITING TOO LONG FOR RECALL REPAIR. IT APPEARS THAT S. FLORIDA SHOULD BE A HIGH PRIORITY FOR REPAIR PARTS DUE TO HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY.

WHEN LIGHTING IS SWITCHED ON FROM THE DASHBOARD SWITCH OR FROM AUTO LAMP FEATURE, ALL LIGHTS COME ON EXCEPT THE HEADLIGHTS.. NO HI OR LO BEAM. THE HIGH BEAMS WILL WORK FROM THE "FLASH TO PASS" FEATURE WITH THE TURN SIGNAL STALK. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED SUDDENLY. FORTUNATELY JUST BEFORE I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY THIS SEEMS PRECISELY THE LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM THAT FORD COVERS FOR THE CROWN VIC AND MARQUIS VEHICLES UNDER RECALL 15S39. THE TOWN CAR IS THE SAME PANTHER PLATFORM AS THE "COVERED" VEHICLES, AND CERTAINLY WITHIN THE SAME YEAR RANGE AS COVERED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MINE IS A "HARD" FAILURE.. NOT INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NO HEADLIGHTS AT THIS MOMENT. I VISITED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TODAY AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TOWN CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER FORD 15S39.
