Takata recall - i received a settlement notice from a district court in florida stating i may have been part of a recall - checked my vin on nhsta site and it did indeed have a recall from june 2006. i was never notified by ford about this recall. on the nhsta website it states that if they do not notify my within a timely manner to make repairs on the vehicle, that i should log a complaint. i am unsure the steps i should go about getting this fixed and if ford will handle the replacement. any information would be helpful
