1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2016

"takata recall" to date Mercedes Benz still has no timeline or date to replace the defective driver side airbag on my vehicle. This critical safety related recall is officially almost 2-years old and to not have parts yet and or a timeline is irresponsible. Now we are receiving bankruptcy "chapter 11" notices for "takata" under "case no. 17-11375 (bls)". This said notice advises us to call our dealer to have parts replaced; only to have the dealer and mercedes corporate to inform that there are no parts! what is this? this is how we consumers and our safety are protected? do we have to wait for a catastrophe before this is addressed and corrected? please advise as to how we are going to get our vehicle repaired and safe. Look forward to your reply and guidance that to this point is completely lacking.

Failure Date: 04/19/2016

Car was hit by a pot hole around 2 inches deep on the passenger side. Immediately there was a loud noise and all the side airbags on the driver side deployed. There was no signs of damage to the tires and not even a scratch to the body.
