TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A SETTLEMENT NOTICE FROM A DISTRICT COURT IN FLORIDA STATING I MAY HAVE BEEN PART OF A RECALL - CHECKED MY VIN ON NHSTA SITE AND IT DID INDEED HAVE A RECALL FROM JUNE 2006. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY FORD ABOUT THIS RECALL. ON THE NHSTA WEBSITE IT STATES THAT IF THEY DO NOT NOTIFY MY WITHIN A TIMELY MANNER TO MAKE REPAIRS ON THE VEHICLE, THAT I SHOULD LOG A COMPLAINT. I AM UNSURE THE STEPS I SHOULD GO ABOUT GETTING THIS FIXED AND IF FORD WILL HANDLE THE REPLACEMENT. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFUL
