TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016. CONTACTED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION TO NO AVAIL. ON MY THIRD CALL I WAS TOLD THE MANUFACTURER WAS GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL SUCH TIME FORD MOTOR CO. COMES UP WITH A SOLUTION.
TAKATA RECALL: WE PURCHASED OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKZ IN OCTOBER, 2016. WE WERE GIVEN NOTICE OF THE RECALL AT THAT TIME AND PROMPTLY WENT TO OUR LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER TO REGISTER OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN BUT WE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. WE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WERE ALWAYS GIVEN THE SAME RESPONSE. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.
