TAKATA- THE FIRST RECALL LETTER WAS SENT TO ME IN 2016. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP CONCERNING REPLACEMENT OF THIS DEFECTIVE ITEM. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED A LOCAL MERCEDES BENZ DEALER FOR ETA. AS OF TODAY 11/13/2017, NO ETA HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALMOST 2 YEARS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO OBTAIN THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE RECALL WORK. RECENTLY, THE DEALER CALLED TO SAY THAT THE PARTS FINALLY BECAME AVAILABLE, BUT THEN CALLED BACK TO SAY THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY GONE.

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE CONTACTED 2 DEALERS AND BOTH WERE UNABLE TO REPLACE MY DEFECTED AIRBAGS
