Takata recall I received a notice over a year ago that my 2008 Lincoln Mkx had been recalled due to safety recall 16s26-passenger airbag inflator replacement. The airbags could rupture and may result in metal fragments striking vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death.

Takata recall. Recall notice was June 1, 2016. Still no parts available for the dealership to fix this dangerous situation. The passenger frontal airbag inflator could rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the supplemental frontal airbags are designed to deploy. This defect report is in response to takata dirs 16e-042, 16e-043, 16e-044. No situation/accident yet but my kids ride in the passenger seat which is a potential life-threatening situation.

In July 2016 I received an ***important safety recall*** notice. It was labeled as safety recall 16s26/ NHTSA recall 16v-384 for our 2008 Lincoln Mkx. The letter gave notice of that the vehicle's passenger frontal airbag inflator may rupture in an event of a crash necessitating airbag deployment. The letter gave instruction to take the vehicle to the local Lincoln dealer to have the airbag(s) replaced, free of charge. I have taken the vehicle to the local Lincoln dealer every oct/Nov of every year since receiving the notice, but at each visit I am told that the airbag can not be replaced because it is not in stock and that the dealer is waiting for Ford to distribute the recalled airbags for replacement. I was further instructed by the dealer to call Ford customer service at 800-392-Ford(3673) to request further information on when I can replace the recalled airbag. Over the phone, Ford instructed that I continue bringing the car to the dealership until otherwise they have new airbags in stock. We drive this vehicle every day and most of the time with a spouse or minor child in the passenger's seat. Since we purchased the vehicle from Ford on may 27, 20112, we drive on streets and highways for both short and long distances. The vehicle has not been in an accident during our ownership. I have since received a duplicate letter dated December 2017. And again I brought the vehicle to the Ford dealership. And again I was told the replacement airbag was not in stock. And again I was turned away.

Takata recall. I first received recall 16s26 in July 2016. I am still being told that there are no parts available and can't be ordered for the passenger frontal airbag inflator. I consider this a very important safety issue;however, Lincoln is unable to fix it after more than a year.

I am alarmed that nearly two years after a recall that the Lincoln motor company has yet to secure replacement parts for the air bag inflator. Their remedy is just don't use the front passenger seat. This is not really a solution.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 16v384000 (air bags) for the frontal passenger air bag inflator exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The contact received the recall notification in June of 2016. The dealer (Lincoln of wayne, 1910 NJ-23, wayne, NJ, 07470) stated that the parts were unavailable for the repair. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
