Takata recall. I stopped by my local mercedes dealership about this recall. According to james motor co. Lexington, ky, currently there isn't a replacement available. That james motor co. Would contact me when they received the replacement. After receiving a notification from tk holdings inc. I see where they are filing chapter 11. I am concerned that they may not want to make the replacement. I went to takata.com, tkrestructuring.com both of which did not work. These internet addresses were listed on the flyer I received from tk holdings inc. Please let me know how to proceed. Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 mercedes-benz slk280. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v081000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
While driving on highway with a passenger at highway speed the SRS malfunction warning light illuminated instructing to take car for service. There was no accident and no object was struck. Mercedes mechanic advised that air bags would not deploy until this failure was corrected. Mechanic stated failure was in passenger seat belt buckle. Apparently many other mercedes owners have had this problem. Sounds somewhat similar to honda's latest problem.
Horn continues to blow. Dealer states that the air bag needs to be replaced due to dust build-up. Told that it will take $1,400 to correct the problem. Currently the horn relay is disconnected.
