2 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2014

Notified by Lincoln (Ford motor company) about NHTSA 14v-597 recall in letter dated November 2014 concerning the air bag control module failure. As of may 1st, my vehicle still has not been repaired. Although I have made numerous call to Lincoln (Ford), I am told that repair parts are not available for my vehicle. I have bee waiting 6 months for repair parts for my vehicle. I find this to be unacceptable as a consumer and hence my filing this complaint with the NHTSA.
