TAKATA RECALL. I FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN JUNE 2016. I CHECKED AGAIN TODAY AND FOUND THAT THE RECALL NOTICE IS STILL THERE, BUT AS IN LAST SUMMER, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. I SPOKE WITH A DEALER IN THE AREA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS YET AVAILABLE AND THEY DON'T HAVE INFORMATION AVAILABLE WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I RECOGNIZE THIS IS A SIZEABLE RECALL, BUT IT ALSO SEEMS THAT A YEAR IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT FOR REPAIR OF SUCH A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS PART.

TAKATA RECALL; IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THIS RECALL LETTER IN JULY 2016 AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MU CAR AND PASSENGERS.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN 2016 -OVER 1 YEAR AGO AND WHEN I CALL A FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED THEY SAY THEY STILL DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR.
