The federal safety agency recall number: 716v081 recall date: february 11, 2016 manufacturer recall number: 2016020003 certain mercedes-benz vehicles and one fca model are equipped with driver-side front airbags provided by the supplier tk holdings inc. ("takata"). On january 25, 2016 takata filed a defect information report with the federal safety agency announcing a potential defect in some of the subject inflators. Based upon takata's information to date, takata is aware of four test ruptures in ballistic tests of non-desiccated psdi-5 inflators. Takata is not aware of any field incidents in which a psdi-5 inflator has ruptured, either desiccated or non-desiccated. Takata is taking this action in an abundance of caution, to address all of the subject non-desiccated psdi-5 air bag inflators, due to the similarities of design and manufacturing characteristics for this type of inflator used in the u.s. Market. Dag is not aware of any field incidents with the subject takata psdi-5 inflators. However, based on the information above and in an abundance of caution, dag will conduct a voluntary recall of the vehicles equipped with subject takata psdi-5 inflators in the united states as identified by takata in the defect information report.

Takata recall is effecting my ability to feel safe , and confident about driving this vehicle plus no dealer really wants this vehicle on trade until the recall is performed. Why aren't parts being released for this vehicle but other car manufactures have seemed to be replacing theirs?? I would love to be informed a little more or there should be some sort of action us consumers can take against the manufacture of these airbags!!!!

Jan 2015 started care and immediately SRS and seatbelt light message appeared on dash. Late fall 2015 received recall letter, called mb of catonsville, received/went to appointment for repair. Missed time from from work only to be told w/n the hour part was not available, I would receive a call when it came in. Late may 16 I received another recall letter from mbusa referring me back to the dealer. Wednesday 06/15/16 I contacted mbusa who explained to me that the part for the airbag was not in but the sra part was available at the dealer. I was directly connected to mb of catonsville by mbusa and was assured part was there/ I was given an appointment next day thursday at 8:15 a.m. At appt., 2 hours later I received a call from the svc mgr. Part was not available. It might take until monday june 20, 2016. It is now tuesday june 21, 2016. I have not heard anything from mb of catonsvile about the part. No one has reached out to me. I ask for a loaner because I was tired of driving the vehicle with anxiety since 2015. In order for me to receive a loaner I have to allow the dealership to hold $150.00 on my bank account while I have possession of the loaner. I cannot afford the cost at this time. And again I messed time from work to have car serviced. Please advise of any options I have at this time.
