Please allow this to serve as a limited notice to I) Mercedes-Benz ag, II) mbusa and III) daimler ag of a new takata airbag inflator rupture for tread compliance purposes. The subject vehicle is a 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250W, VIN#: ***************** (the 'vehicle'). I have the privilege of representing two individuals who were severely injured on 11/7/2020 when the passenger-side takata airbag installed in the vehicle improperly ruptured during a crash event deployment. The vehicle was in motion at the time of the rupture. Due to the violent explosion of the inflator module, the inflator's igniter caps and housing blew apart and struck the passenger, a young female, in the face and head with lethal velocity. The incident occurred in pinellas county, Florida. The young female passenger has been hospitalized for 2 weeks with severe injuries and multiple surgical procedures. Her current injuries include but are not limited to, loss of vision in her left eye, cognitive trauma, facial paralysis and diminished hearing capacity in both ears: As shown below, the passenger-side airbag module blew apart (as we have seen in multiple passenger-side takata bags)'due to the large amount of ammonium nitrate propellant used in this model for deployment. The below images show pieces of the inflator module post-explosion, including the inflator mesh, housing and igniter caps from stage 2 separation. ## VIN passed ## 2012 Mercedes-Benz C250W ##

My Mercedes has a recall for the takata air bags. I do not live in close proximity to a Mercedes dealership. I have spoken to the dealership in orange park, fl which is around 85 miles away. I have, also, spoken to Mercedes customer care. Neither will assist in having my car picked up and taken to the dealership or are they offering any assistance in removing a barrier to have the air bag replaced. I understand this is an important recall but how do I comply and mitigate risk of injury if Mercedes is not willing to help car owners who live in rural areas? please advise.
