TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MAZDA'S SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON 12/12/2016. IN DECEMBER 2016, I TOOK THE RECALL LETTER TO MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALER IN BITBURG, GERMANY. AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017, MAZDA EUROPE IS STILL NOT ABLE TO RECEIVE PARTS TO REPAIR THE CAR. MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE AND THEN RETURN WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE AS OF AUGUST 31, 2017.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAD IN JULY 2016, AND HAVE MADE THREE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE, EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IN AUGUST 2017, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FOR THE "FINAL REPAIR USING A MODIFIED INFLATOR...". I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESPONSE I'VE RECEIVED AND WILL TRY AGAIN, HOWEVER I DON'T THINK A YEAR LONG WAIT FOR AN AIR BAG REPLACEMENT IS REASONABLE OR ACCEPTABLE.
