1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2003

From all the research I have done on my vehicle, it has the takata airbag inflators that uses phase?stabilized ammonium nitrate without a desiccant which should have been in the nationwide Ford vehicle recall. I am the original owner of my 2003 Mustang mach 1 and it has never had the airbags replaced and I have never received a recall notice. I had Ford run an oasis report on my VIN and they tell me there is no recall for my car. I told them the reports don't show data past 15 years. After all these years I thought I was safe because my car never showed it had the takata recall, so I didn't think mine had them. Now after watching a youtube documentary and doing research, I am now afraid to drive my car. What can be done about this?.
