Nothing happened except we have a recall on the airbag.we got the letter in March 0F 2017. When we called the dealer today on 11-6-17 they stated we had to wait for the 2nd letter saying parts are available. So where is our 2nd letter so we can get this fixed. I feel we should have received this by now.

Checked again 6 months later, and again when I received the legal notice regarding takata's fiing of bankruptcy. Dealer still does not have parts, and has no idea when they might be available.

Takata recall. I am unable to get an inspection sticker for this car because of the airbag and Ford says there is no remedy? this will force me to junk this car since in MA the airbag is a safety issue and I will be unable to get an inspection sticker so I will have to junk it, not use it or sell it at a very terrible price due to Ford not having a remedy.
