In 2016 we were notified of the takata airbag recall. Lincoln cannot supply me a fix by date. I received another notice saying it is not safe for anyone cannot sit in the front passenger side of the car. Since my wife suffers from vertigo we cannot make any long trips. As a side note I own a 2005 datkota pickup and both takata air bags have been replaced.
