Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Mercedes Benz GL550

Takata recall if Mercedes Benz is aware of this recall how come a year later I haven't been notified of this. The recall still shows no remedy. This is very dangerous especially as this is a family car and I drive my young kids everyday around in this vehicle. Mercedes should be ashamed. I want this matter fixed ASAP. Certain mercedes-benz vehicles and one fca model are equipped with driver-side front airbags provided by the supplier tk holdings inc. ("takata"). On January 25, 2016 takata filed a defect information report with NHTSA announcing a potential defect in some of the subject inflators. Based upon takata's information to date, takata is aware of four test ruptures in ballistic tests of non-desiccated psdi-5 inflators. Takata is not aware of any field incidents in which a psdi-5 inflator has ruptured, either desiccated or non-desiccated. Takata is taking this action in an abundance of caution, to address all of the subject non-desiccated psdi-5 air bag inflators, due to the similarities of design and manufacturing characteristics for this type of inflator used in the u. S. Market. Dag is not aware of any field incidents with the subject takata psdi-5 inflators. However, based on the information above and in an abundance of caution, dag will conduct a voluntary recall of the vehicles equipped with subject takata psdi-5 inflators in the united states as identified by takata in the defect information report. Safety risk: according to takata, in the event of an inflatorrupture, metal fragments could pass through the air bag cushion material, which may resulting injury or death to vehicle occupants. Remedy: once parts are available customers will be sent a letter asking them to go to an authorized Mercedes Benz dealer who will replace the driver side front airbag of the potentially affected vehicles recall status: incomplete. Remedy not yet available.
