I CONTACTED THE FREMONT FORD DEALERSHIP (IN FREMONT CALIFORNIA) TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING OUR AIRBAGS REPLACED. THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OUR TRUCK DOES FALL UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING AT THIS TIME AND DO NOT HAVE OR HAVE HAD ANY REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE, NOR DO THEY KNOW IF OR WHEN THEY WILL GET THEM. THE PERSON I SPOKE WITH WAS A WOMEN WHO IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS MARGARITA. I WOULD LIKE OUR AIRBAG REPLACED BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED IF MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IS (WHAT I PERCEIVE TO BE AS) IGNORING THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - MY VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AND I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AS REQUESTED CONCERNING THIS RECALL. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE NO PARTS AVAILABILITY DATE FOR NECESSARY PARTS TO REPLACE OR REPAIR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IN MY VEHICLE. THEY ALSO INDICATED THAT THE VIN INDICATES THAT THE DRIVER AIR BAG IS NOT NOTED AS BEING A TAKATA ITEM OR IT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN SERVICED AS I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE JULY 2015 AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING PRIOR TO THAT TIME. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER INDICATES THAT TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE NOTHING IS IN WORK TO FURNISH THE PARTS NECESSARY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAGS OTHER THEN THEIR RECENT FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY WHICH CERTAINLY INDICATES THESE NECESSARY PARTS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BE FORTHCOMING. IS THE NHTSA INVOLVED IN ANY ACTION TO ASSIST IN MAKING THE NECESSARY RECALL PARTS AVAILABLE TO THE FORD SERVICE NETWORK SO OUR VEHICLES CAN BE REPAIRED OR WHAT OTHER ACTION CAN BE PURSUED TO RESOLVE THIS UNSAFE SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES? .
