"Takata recall" I can not get an appointment with my mercedes benz dealer, to have my recalled airbag replace. They said they are working on other models and stating that they do not have the parts for my vehicle. When I asked six months ago about a replacement airbag, the service representative acting asks if it was not a big deal, just standard procedures.
