In owners' own words
Takata recall: the local Lincoln dealer told me that a replacement airbag is still not available. This has been several years since the original recall. So far there has not been a problem with the airbag but I understand there is a risk. I received a mailing from tk holdings advising me to schedule an appointment for a free replacement airbab right away, but the dealer says they cannot do this at this time. Air bags
