Wow. I can’t believe we are still having fallout from the Takata airbag scandal.

It's not fallout. It's legal CYOA by Ford for people who didn't get off their duff and get it addressed in the past few years.

It ain't no joke either; the potential for catastrophic failure and injury is quite real.

"At the heart of the problem is the airbag’s inflator, a metal cartridge loaded with propellant wafers, which in some cases has ignited with explosive force. If the inflator housing ruptures in a crash, metal shards from the airbag can be sprayed throughout the passenger cabin—a potentially disastrous outcome from a supposedly lifesaving device. "

Let me find the article, but Ford dealers were busted claiming the repair and not doing it,

So is "yours fixed"?
