What owners wrote
"takata recall" I received the notification concerning the airbag recall in the mail the day before the vehicle was involved in an accident and was eventually considered to be a total loss. The airbag in the drivers side did deploy and pieces of what I thought were glass were embedded in my skin on my left hand though there wasn't any glass in that area that seemed to be loose. I also noticed that the airbag continued to burn for an extremely long time.
I was on my way home from work and the lights just came on for no reason. Steering wheel locks on sharp turns at slow speeds. Cuts off bluetooth when it happens. ABS, traction and brake light come on. I looked on cars.com and saw a recall in 2015 for this same thing. I got my car in early 2016. Under my VIN it says the power steering was serviced in 2014 before they even knew about the recall. Now the ford dealerships don't see the 2015 recall in their computers.
