Failure Date: 03/31/2017

Takata recall - I was notified when I purchased my Mercedes Benz E350 coup in April of 2017 a recall was necessary. I have repeatedly contacted Mercedes Benz of henderson, nv to replace the passenger airbag. They say there is no remedy available as of yet and none in the near future. I am concerned the airbag may deploy and injure or kill myself or my passenger. I need to know what steps to take to remedy the recall failure of Mercedes Benz. No problems as of yet but am concerned for the future.
