Takata recall i have called the lincoln dealer in ventura county (oxnard) and also the ford dealer in thousand oaks and asked to be put on a waiting list for an air bag. i have never heard back from either one and this has been a few years ago.

Greeting....on two previous occasions when the vehicle was under warranty it was taken in for service due to the warning indicator/light relative to driver's seat belt/air bag. on both occasions the matter was corrected. however today 12 oct. 2014 the vehicle began experiencing the same problem. the first time the tech reported that persons riding behind the driver did/maybe caused the problem because the wiring harness is exposed. the second incident in which the vehicle was taken in i was informed the problem should not occur in the future.that last repair was some 10-15 months ago. however today when the problem light came on there were no one seated behind the driver. it appears there is/was a flaw in the design causing a potential danger to occupants of this vehicle. each time the vehicle was serviced at fairway lincoln savannah ga. also please note the dates and mileages are approximately. *tr

Takata recall. in the month of july 2016 i received a letter from the lincoln motor company, dated july 2016 stating "when parts become available for safety recall 16s26, the lincoln motor company will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer to have the passenger frontal airbag inflator replaced." two phone calls to dealer on 8/8/16 regarding this matter have not been returned as of 11/9/16. four months seems to be a long time to get this issued corrected as it puts members of my family in harms way anytime i drive the car with a passenger in the front seat. how long is this expected to take for parts to be available and then how long will it take for the dealer to handle the replacement? four months of a known safety hazard not being fixed is too long in my opinion.
