When contacting Ford dealerships, they state they do not have the parts for the recall. I do not question the dealerships, as I feel they sincerely don't. but there are two airbag recalls for this model and this have been going on for quite sometime, with the dealerships not having the parts to fix recalls from 2016 through today.

Takata recall I received a letter from Ford motors saying "a repair is available for your vehicle." The letter told me " please call your dealer without delay and request a service date for recall 16S26 to receive your free repair." I called hawk Ford in oak lawn, il, identified my recall and they immediately scheduled an appointment. When I arrived, they said they did not have the part and could not perform the work. This is the second time it has happened with the same dealer. The first time I did misunderstand the letter and assumed the work could be done. However the dealer's staff still scheduled the repair and didn't have the part. Why is Ford telling me to get this done asap when their dealers don't have the parts and why is the dealer scheduling work they can't perform. I am totally frustrated and powerless. I am tired of driving a one-person car! please help!
