What owners wrote
The contact owns a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK350. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 2020100005 (replace Takata passenger-side module Air Bags) however, the dealer informed the contact that the part for the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair? The manufacturer was notified of the issue but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was in an act of nature accident with a deer.
Takata recall should have been done before the end of march 2018 according to a letter I received. The mercedes dealership kept telling me that the airbags were ok, or that they do not have replacements as yet. I had an accident yesterday, so I would like to inform every owner of the problem airbags to make sure that they get the new ones which they deserve.I was in the city, on a street and only impacted another car at about 5-10 MPH following a turn onto a busier street..I sustained only superficial injuries…
