TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ABOUT 9 MONTHS AGO. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE DEATHS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE A REMEDY NOW. IF YOU CAN NOT FIX THE AIRBAG NOW I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO DRIVING THE TICKING TIMEBOMB.

TAKATA RECALL REMEDY TAKING TOO LONG AS THERE HAVE BEEN DEATHS RESULTING FROM THIS ISSUE, EVEN IN MINOR ACCIDENTS. NOT ACCEPTABLE!

GOT THE AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016 IT'S OCTOBER 2016 AND THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT YET. CALLED SAAB AUTHORIZE SERVICE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE.

SUMMARY: IN SOME VEHICLES, THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY EXPERIENCE AN ALTERATION OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERAGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS CONDITION COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE BODY OF THE INFLATOR RUPTURING UPON DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON SAAB 9-3 AND 9-5 VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, FREE OF CHARGE.

GEORGE'S IMPORTS IN KANSAS CITY, MO STATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE TOOL REQUIRED TO TEST FOR CORROSION ON MY TRANSVERSE LINKS, AND THEREFORE, CANNOT PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.
