TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MAZDA B2300. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 17V806000 (AIR BAGS) AND 17V807000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (SKYLAND AUTO GROUP, 255 SMOKEY PARK HIGHWAY, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806) WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED, WHICH WAS CANCELLED ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT DUE TO ONE OF THE RECALL PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL - MAZDA RECALL NUMBER 9116A, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V-048 I WAS INFORMED BY LETTER ABOUT THIS RECALL WELL OVER A YEAR AGO, BUT THE STATUS STILL REMAINS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT ADVISE IF OR WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE IT WAS A MAZDA B2300 SERIES PICKUP A YEAR NEWER THAN MINE WHICH BLEW UP AND KILLED A PERSON, INITIATING THIS RECALL OF BOTH MAZDA AND FORD RANGER BRANDED MAZDA PICKUPS. THE FAILURE RATE OF THESE INFLATORS INCREASES RAPIDLY WITH VEHICLE AGE.
