IN FEBRUARY, 2016 A RECALL WAS MADE ON THE 2007 MERCEDES SLK 350 CONCERNING A DEADLY DEFECT IN ITS DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG MADE BY TAKATA. COMING ON ON TWO YEARS AND MERCEDES STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED A FIX. THERE ARE SO FEW OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD, IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THIS FIX IS A PRIORITY FOR MERCEDES. HOW LONG DOES A CAR MANUFACTURER HAVE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR A POSSIBLY DEADLY DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL EITHER THESE AIRBAGS ARE SAFE AND THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE RESCINDED OR THE AIRBAGS ARE UNSAFE? IF DEEMED UNSAFE THEN ALL INVENTORIES AND PRODUCTION NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS RESOLVING THIS ISSUE. AIRBAG PRODUCTION SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO CORRECT THIS RECALL INSTEAD OF NEW CAR PRODUCTION. COULD THIS BE A STALL TACTIC BY THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS? EVERY YEAR THAT PASSES A CERTAIN % OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES END THEIR USEFUL LIVES. MANUFACTURERS THEREFORE RECOGNIZE A LOWER REPLACEMENT COST. EVEN THOUGH A LARGE MONETARY SETTLEMENT WAS DIRECTED TO THE MANUFACTURERS. IF THERE IS A DECISION TO BE MADE REGARDING SAFETY, THEN THERE IS NO DECISION TO BE MADE- ALWAYS TAKE THE SAFE COURSE. ORDER ALL AIRBAG PRODUCTION TO BE DIRECTED TO THIS RECALL! FIX THIS PROBLEM! THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL. I STOPPED BY MY LOCAL MERCEDES DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS RECALL. ACCORDING TO JAMES MOTOR CO. LEXINGTON, KY, CURRENTLY THERE ISN'T A REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. THAT JAMES MOTOR CO. WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT. AFTER RECEIVING A NOTIFICATION FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. I SEE WHERE THEY ARE FILING CHAPTER 11. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY MAY NOT WANT TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT. I WENT TO TAKATA.COM, TKRESTRUCTURING.COM BOTH OF WHICH DID NOT WORK. THESE INTERNET ADDRESSES WERE LISTED ON THE FLYER I RECEIVED FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO PROCEED. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
