My vehicle has a safety recall for a possible exploding driver airbag, recall number 21V158. This recall was issued 3/25/21, about 10 months ago, and the manufacturer still does not have a fix for it. This is unacceptable given the severity of the recall. The NHTSA website states that if the manufacturer has not remedied a recall in a reasonable amount of time, then a vehicle complaint should be submitted. In my mind, 10 months is an unreasonable amount of time. I hope that the NHTSA can put additional pressure on Ford/Lincoln to remedy this recall ASAP.

As a result, the vehicle was hit on the front passenger side by another vehicle. The contact stated that the front passenger side air bag deployed injuring his girlfriend.

I do not want to pay for a repair in which the makers of takata inflators are responsible for repairing.

Takata notice and dashboard where airbags are.fash is splitting and dealer said can't be fixed. Have to order and pay for a new dash. I received a class action notice about airbags. Dealer checked and no recalls I concerned
"takata recall" we are being messed about with the local Ford Lincoln dealership at pines Ford, in hollywood, Florida. Several months ago they said they had ordered the replacement airbags, then they said they had a delivery but they were no good and have now re-ordered. We are still waiting. How long does it take to order these airbags" we are elderly seniors and although we feel we are good drivers there are so many bad drivers out there, where an accident could happen and the airbag inflates causing possible death. Can you do anything to hurry this along"
