“Takata recall - mercedes I've just received a letter stating my 2015 mercedes glk 350 has or may have a faulty passenger side airbag or inflater related to takata's poor quality standard. I checked with mercedes and they don't foresee replacement parts being available until may 2020, which is wholly unacceptable in scope. …”

NHTSA complaint #11186901, filed 2019-03, 31,000 miles

“Received notification of takata air bag recall in february 2019. Unable to get replacement from dealer. I will have to wait until may 2020 to replace the airbag. We are senior citizens and feel that having to wait over a year and a quarter to make our car safe is unreasonable.”

NHTSA complaint #11301718, filed 2020-01, 35,000 miles

“Takata recall should have been done before the end of march 2018 according to a letter I received. The mercedes dealership kept telling me that the airbags were ok, or that they do not have replacements as yet. I had an accident yesterday, so I would like to inform every owner of the problem airbags to make sure that they get the new ones which they deserve.I was in the city, on a street and only impacted another car at about 5-10 MPH following a turn onto a busier street..I sustained only superficial injuries (lacerations, contusions & abbrations), and damages to my glk 350.”
