Nothing has happened as yet (my vehicle has not been involved in an accident). But I am concerned with Ford company's slow processing of this recall of takata frontal airbags. I received my first recall notice in July of 2016 and have contacted Ford dealers in 3 states over the past year. "parts not yet available" is the consistent response. Now that tk holdings and its parent company takata have filed for bankruptcy in several countries, I am concerned that the replacement will not take place at all, and that my family may undergo serious injury should the bags malfunction in the event of an impact. I would ask that any pressure possible be placed on the companies involved to ensure that the recall and replacement of this critical safety feature is honored as soon as possible.

Takata recall dealer fail to replace airbag

- Durham, NC, USA

Takata recall. Despite being notified over a year ago that my passenger airbag could potentially cause death to any passengers in the case of deployment, I am told that there are no airbag replacements at the local dealer and that there is no estimated time frame for their availability. So I am stuck driving a potential death trap due to the negligence of takata both in design and in remediation of their grave error. Tk holdings sent me a postcard urging that I get the airbag replaced as takata has declared bankruptcy, but there seems to be no actual way to do so. So I continue to be stuck driving an unsafe vehicle due to manufacturer negligence.

The dash where the passenger airbag is located is coming apart. It appears that something is pushing the dash apart from the inside. This has been developing since we purchased the car in spring of 2016. No accidents to the front of the car have occurred.
