Received a recall notice in december 2015. Haven't received any information after this notice. More than 60 days.
Takata recall. Received an the federal safety agency recall letter in december, 2015 (#15v711). My local mercedes benz dealer failed/was unable to performance the required recall service within 60 days of this letter pursuant to law 49 u.s.c. Chapter 301. They could not tell me when my vehicle would be fixed, but warned me that if I were in an accident and the airbag deployed, I could be seriously injured or killed. In my view, this is unsatisfactory. If these airbags are that much of a risk, then why isn't something being done to disable them until they can be fixed? I get they can prevent injury, but it seems to me that they can cause more injury/death in minor accidents if not repaired. What is the federal safety agency doing to get the manufacturer to fix this issue and provide the inventory necessary to get these potentially deadly airbags out of people's cars? Thank you.
Takata recall received the letter of recall at the end of december 2015, according to which airbags shall be replaced by authorized mb dealer or mbusa within 60 days free of charge, it's march 4th 2016 now, nothing happened, mb didn't make the repair or even contacted us. It's impossible to get the info from them on takata when you call them.
