I'm just now getting a recall letter stating that parts for my car have been recalled and it appears as though they have known since july 2016. Additionally it states that they have sent me a previous letter which is entirely not factual and this is the first I'm hearing about it. Also there is no fix? So how am I suppose to trust the safety of my car when they can't even fix it for me? I also find it convenient that they are just now letting me now, now that it's over the statutory time frame in which they would have to fix on their dime.

Takata recall not being resolved timely. Still waiting for free airbag replacements where have notified our dealer several times where dealer has told me ford company is not supplying the replacements (???) when will this be resolved so they may be replaced?
Takata recall - I called the dealership to get my car serviced for the airbag recall replacement and they stated they received a letter informing them there are no airbag parts to replace the recalled equipment due to takata filing for bankruptcy. The deadline for filing proof of claim is 12/27/2017 but no parts will be available until spring 2018, according to the letter the dealership received. I did submit a claim form on the tkrestructuring.com/ppic page as well.
Takata recall ford has now warned us by mail that we should not allow anyone to sit in the front passenger seat of this vehicle. They have also advised that repairs will not be available until spring 2018 and that those repairs will be made in a priority order determined by the federal safety agency. This is totally unacceptable. Since the remedy parts have already been delayed once, it is possible that this car could be unsafe for a front seat passenger for a very long time. Since this is the second of our cars now considered unsafe for front seat passengers, we are very upset. Something more has to be done to get these repairs completed in a more timely manner. Also, we planned to sell this car in the next year. No one will want to purchase a vehicle with an unusable front passenger seat, so we now have a vehicle with no resale value. Who is going to reimburse us for that?

Nothing has happened as yet (my vehicle has not been involved in an accident). But I am concerned with ford company's slow processing of this recall of takata frontal airbags. I received my first recall notice in july of 2016 and have contacted ford dealers in 3 states over the past year. "parts not yet available" is the consistent response. Now that tk holdings and its parent company takata have filed for bankruptcy in several countries, I am concerned that the replacement will not take place at all, and that my family may undergo serious injury should the bags malfunction in the event of an impact. I would ask that any pressure possible be placed on the companies involved to ensure that the recall and replacement of this critical safety feature is honored as soon as possible.

Takata recall dealer fail to replace airbag
Takata recall. Despite being notified over a year ago that my passenger airbag could potentially cause death to any passengers in the case of deployment, I am told that there are no airbag replacements at the local dealer and that there is no estimated time frame for their availability. So I am stuck driving a potential death trap due to the negligence of takata both in design and in remediation of their grave error. Tk holdings sent me a postcard urging that I get the airbag replaced as takata has declared bankruptcy, but there seems to be no actual way to do so. So I continue to be stuck driving an unsafe vehicle due to manufacturer negligence.

The dash where the passenger airbag is located is coming apart. It appears that something is pushing the dash apart from the inside. This has been developing since we purchased the car in spring of 2016. No accidents to the front of the car have occurred.
