It has been one year since i received a notice from ford for nhtsa recall 16v-384 that the passenger frontal airbag inflator was defective and could rupture if deployed. Yesterday i went to a local dealer for the fourth time and was informed that ford still does not have replacement inflators. This is unacceptable. Please demand that they obtain replacement inflators.

This is to report a delay in recall 16v384. I've been contacting my local dealership to get the problem fixed and because they are waiting on a second set of parts, they've advised me to wait. It's been over a year, when will the passenger side be available to fix?

Takata recall. I have received notices regarding this recall (dated 6/1/16) that applies to my vehicle over the past couple years. When i have contacted my ford dealer, they have said that they do not have the parts to complete this recall. I do not understand why anyone should wait years to have the airbag replaced on a vehicle when the airbag currently in the vehicle is dangerous.

Takata recall recall went out for takata passenger airbag inflator on june 1, 2016. I have since had the driver's side replaced but the passenger airbag has never been available. Ford has not had the passenger airbag replacement available since the recall. It is a danger to transport any passengers knowing that their airbag is recalled and can cause life-threatening injury. The passenger airbag is currently disabled.
