    Source: Mercedes, Daimler, VW All Hit in Takata Airbag Recall | NHTSA: Crisis

    In just the latest recall involving Takata airbags, which can rupture and send shrapnel into occupants of a car, Daimler said about 705,000 Mercedes-Benz cars and 136,000 Daimler vans are affected. Volkswagen, meanwhile, will recall 680,000 cars in the United States, all of them 2006-14 Passats, Golfs and Eoses.​

    Not diesel related but gosh darn . . .

    great news, now they're recalling the passenger airbag. so after wasting my (and my wife's) morning and evening dropping off the truck and picking it up, i have to do it all over again.:mad: i don't know if this is a chrysler, takata or nhtsa snafu.
    oh, and of course, they don't have the parts yet.

    IMO it's more of a fubar than a snafu

    Could be they wanted to get the driver side first of all the effected cars.
