I was notified April 2021, that my vehicle had an airbag safety recall repair. To date, I have not been notified to bring my vehicle in for the repair to be performed. The parts were to be in the third quarter of 2021, I have been patient. But, this recall addresses the driver side airbag. I am concerned that if it explodes, I could be seriously hurt. Please advise me. What is my next step.

I received a letter in March of 2017 stating that there was an important safety recall regarding the passenger airbag in my car. The letter stated that a ruptured inflator may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants. I stopped having passengers sit in the front seat of my car, inconvenient but safe. This letter came two years ago!!! I made and documented three calls regarding this issue to no avail. Today I again called Lincoln cooperate and was transferred to taska Lincoln in cranston ri. I waited on the line for 17 minutes but had to hang up because my lunch ended. This is so ridiculous! two years!

My front passenger air bag light comes on saying it isn't functioning - has happened since I bought the car in 2014, but I never noticed until warranty was over (only happens if someone sits in seat, which is not often). I do not see any recall -and wonder if thisis something I have to have fixed at my own cost as dealer said "too bad". no problems as of yet, but worried a passenger can be hurt badly.

Takata recall this recall is almost 2 years old. I am not sure sure what 'timely manner' is, but I am guessing 2 years is not a timely manner. I have called my local dealer with no results to get this fixed. Per safercar.gov: "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or tty: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA."
