Takata recall. July 2016 I received "important safety recall" 16S26/NHTSA recall 16V-384. It is over a year later, and I have not been contacted to schedule the repair. The notice says serious injury or death can result.

Takata recall. On two occasions I asked Ford to indicate whether or not the side air bags installed in my Mustang were supplied by takata and if so would they be recalled. On both occasions Ford sidestepped my request and refused to answer my questions directly. I believe Ford is being dishonest, only trying to limit their liability, at my safety and expense. Note: Ford has recalled both the frontal air bags but has only replaced one.(see attached letters). Please instruct Ford to indicate if the side air bags on my Mustang were supplied by takata, instruct Ford to recall them if they were and instruct Ford to expedite the replacement of the takata air bags not yet replaced (the second frontal air bag recall is over a year old). Note: There is no doubt in my mind that Ford has had enough time to resolve any technical or production issues and their delays are unreasonable.

Ford sent me a recall notice back in June 2016 letting me know my passenger airbag is a takata airbag and will need to be replaced. I have called Ford multiple times over the year about when parts will be available. Called them today and they state they are still not available and they do not know when they will be. It is mid August 2017, over a year later. I would like to know when parts will be available so I can have passengers sit in my car with me. Recall numbers are 16V384 or 16S26. Any information would be appreciated.

This takata airbag recall has been in effect for several years now and my local Ford dealer confirrmed to me today that the parts are still not available to correct this very serious safety hazard. How much longer are we supposed to avoid putting passengers in our cars that are under the takata airbag recall?

After calling the local Ford dealer, redlands Ford for months and always being told they could not get the parts for the recall and to try again next month finally on 7/24/17 we were excited to hear they had the drivers side parts in and we scheduled the repair for 7/25/17. We dropped the car of in the morning on 7/25 excited to finally get this fixed. When we returned at 4:45 to pick up the car we were disapointed to notice it was still parked where it had been that morning. On inquiring with the service department we were told we would need to keep the car another day as they needed to order the part. When I informed them we were told yesterday the part was in stock when we scheduled the service we were told different models require different parts. When I told him they had verified the part by the VIN number and asked what happened to the part he had in stock he refused to answer only saying they could reorder the part for the next day. I asked why they had not called me when they noticed they didn't have the part he ignored my question saying they needed to reorder the part. I asked him why if they could order the part and get it in the next day they had waited 15 months to do so. Again he ignored my question insisting I leave the car so they could order the part. We took our car and left, filing a complaint with the dealer and now with you. We now have the impression neither fmc nor the local dealers have any intention of completing the recall repairs and are just making life difficult so we give up. Sad that my 17 year old son's safety rests in their hands.

I have been notified during the initial recall of the lethal takata airbags in my 2006 Mustang. Today, I have been contacting the dealer in margate Florida where I purchased the vehicle. As of this date after numerous telephone calls, visits, I am still without the passenger side airbag. I left messages, not return calls, poor customer service responses, etc... I would like some assistance in getting the passenger side bag replaced. It's been several years and the car is a daily driven car before my family experience the sad events as other famllies has experienc3ed.
