I CAN GET NO INFORMATION ABOUT RECALLS FOR THIS CAR, BUT ESPECIALLY WHETHER OR NOT THE AIRBAGS IN THIS CAR ARE PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. MERCEDES USA CAN'T HELP. MERCEDES GERMANY WON'T HELP. THE COMPANY THAT PURCHASED THESE CARS, BROUGHT THEM TO THE US, AND MODIFIED THEM TO MEET US STANDARDS, REFUSES TO ANSWER MY QUESTION. NO ONE CAN HELP ME FIND OUT IF MY AIRBAGS ARE PART OF THE RECALL.
