63 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2017

Takata recall, NHTSA recall #16v384, manufacturer recall #16s26 my Ranger is in zone a (being it originated in California), as defined by paragraph 7 of the amendment to Nov. 3, 2015 consent order issued to takata by the NHTSA on may 4, 2016. Which means it's in priority groups 4-12. I have contacted the local Ford dealer: barber Ford in holland mi 49423 at 616-396-2361 with the NHTSA recall # as well as the manufacturer recall #. They confirmed is was a valid number. But said we don't have parts to replace. To my the best of my knowledge I have never received a recall notice from Ford motor company. Priority group 7 is supposed to be fixed by Dec. 31, 2017 and I have never heard from Ford motor CO. That my vehicle is involved in the recall. I am questioning whether Ford motor CO is treating this vehicle in a timely manner being it originated in California.
