I DISCOVERED FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN RECALL ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG. THE REMEDY SHOWN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE IS FOR AN AUTHORIZED MERCEDES-BENZ DEALER TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. TWO M-B DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR MORE THAN 5 YEARS, AND I SUSPECT THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN KNOWN BY MERCEDES-BENZ FOR MOST OF THIS TIME. IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I DO NOT LIKE FOR MY WIFE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT THREATENING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
