    Takata airbag recall 16v081- it has been more than a year since i was notified of the recall and the ford dealership in sand city, ca. Cypress coast ford continues to state they do not have the parts to satisfy the recall. I drive this vehicle daily and consider it a risk to my safety that the airbag has been recalled and yet there is no resolution still.
