In owners' own words
Takata inflators - I received a letter of the recall date feb 2019. I called the mercedes dealer direct april 17, 2019 and they claimed they don't have the part and would send me a letter when one comes in. However, I have learned others who purchased cars after my purchase have had theirs replaced. I have great concern since my airbag indicator sometimes generates a warning. This replacement is long over due... Air bags
