I've been calling for months & months to have this recall fixed. I'm always told that parts are not available. I need to have this fixed!! it's a safety issue. Ford should find a solution for this problem or offer to replace the car at no cost to me. I fear that if this part is not replaced, that my family may be harmed by the ruptured inflator.
