    Takata recall recall title: takata non-desiccated phased stabilized ammonium nitrate (psan) passenger frontal airbag inflators nhtsa recall number: 16v384 almost one year ago my passenger airbag was recalled. It is taking too long for a remedy to become available. If a timely repair is not feasible, takata and ford should provide monetary relief. This delay is unacceptable.

Since this recall was issued on 06/01/2016 and the remedy is not yet available, this problem has not been addressed in a timely manner! My wife and i are extremely concerned about the safety of our son driving…

    Takata recall i have taken the car in twice to address the recall but the ford dealer keeps telling me the parts are unavailable. The last time they told me they were distributing the recall parts beginning in the south and working northward (we live in ohio) whether that is true or not. There are 2 recalls an neither have been addressed in over a year and a half. Our teenage daughter drives this car. Please help.…

When i fasten the belt on that side still unoccupied, the fault code stops, but the center dash lights up indicating passenger airbag is off. My research shows the problem is not unique to my car, and that it has and is an ongoing issue with many cars not just ford. This vehicle is on the…

    Ford still has not completed the repairs for passenger side airbag. I do not feel comfortable having a front seat passenger. Why has this not been done? Can i consider it safe to have a front seat passenger. This has been much too long being corrected.

    Concerned about recall notification regarding air bag with shrapnel causing injury or death. Requesting to have air bag disconnected in order to drive car, will not use in the meantime until corrected. Will this be allowed to be done by a dealership?

I heard nothing more from ford so in late september 2015 i telephoned the ford customer service. Customer service told me that there was no action being taken to replace the part…
