TAKATA RECALL. I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THIS RECALL WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2016. I HAVE SUBMITTED TWO LETTERS TO NHTSA TO DEACTIVATE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, SINCE IT IS A SINGLE CAB. I CANNOT TRANSPORT ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS AIRBAG, AND THERE IS NO AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. THE LETTERS I SENT IN DEC 16 AND OCT 17 HAVE GONE UNANSWERED. I FILLED OUT AN EMAIL TO NHTSA LAST WEEK AND HAVE JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE TO NHTSA. I NEED THIS AIRBAG DEACTIVATED UNTIL REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE. I AM IN TOUCH WITH LOCAL FORD DEALER, "SPEEDWAY FORD' IN GRIFFIN, GA 30224, BUT THEY CANNOT RESOLVE THE MATTER EITHER.
